CK 35 Bottom Seat Cushion

[skipples]

Mine's shot. Wondering if anyone has replaced it with aftermarket or oem. I can't seem to find a dealer that knows where to get one.

Stumbled over this with a search on the interwebs

NEW BLACK HIGH BACK SEAT FOR OLDER KIOTI DK35 & DK4 COMPACT TRACTORS #AC - Seat Warehouse

No idea about the site reputation, but maybe it will be useful.

Nolts power equipment or Michigan Iron Equipment would be worth a call too I think.

Thanks for the info. Mine is a two piece affair. I think I'll take the bottom section to the tractor store for comparison and see what they have. I tried MIE with no success and I don't know about Nolts.

Have you tried looking for an auto/boat upholstery shop?
it was the only way I could get my seat covers for Wiley. Exhausted many avenues.
Was pricey, but what price of placing one's back on a hot black vinyl seat and getting burned versus being able to sit comfortably first time and go to work......
Plus you can chose the foam density for your comfort and cover options as well.
Good luck....

I have replaced both the tractor seat and the Backhoe seat under warranty as soon as they showed signs of a crack. I think warranty period for seats are under the 2 year bumper to bumper.

Try ...Home - Seat Warehouse
They have aftermarket seats to fit most any tractor.
I bought a replacement seat from them for my Kubota L48 TLB.
Had to modify very slightly
Good quality, and not expensive.

YLEE has it right.

Take the bottom section only to an upholstery shop that does MC seats. I have 1-2 ATV seats done per year by a guy in San Jose. There should be at least one shop in Oxnard. I pay about $75 for labor and materials (vinyl).

My CK30 seat bottom has some cracks after 15 years, but not all the way into the foam. You can choose foam density if you go to a shop.

$75 certainly seems worth it considering the cost of new.

I have used Seat Warehouse. Good quality and i am sure they have one that will match with no more than drilling a couple holes.

We have had good success with taking seat bottoms to a local upholstery shop. You typically can't buy individual pieces of seats of this type, so unless you want to fork out for a whole new seat, upholstery may be the best option.

Black duct tape did the job...or at least bought some time. Still holding up after 3 or 4 months.

I installed three of these large leather repair patches on my DK35SE:

Sayopin Leather Repair Patch Kits for Car Seats Couches and Elbow 3 Pieces Self-Adhesive Patch for Leather and Vinyl Repair, 8x 11inch Leather Sofa Repair Kits: Amazon.ca: Home & Kitchen

I had been using good quality, wide electrical tape but the rips got too large.

I put the new patches over the old tape three weeks ago. Since then they have had heavy use and seem to be holding up well.

I bought a Kubota seat NOS on ebay for my DK40 tractor. It was an easy install as I recall I might have drilled two or four holes.
