Valleydweller1..... That's a great looking set up you have there, and they are bullet proof too! I doubt there is a better all around choice in a tractor that size. It does appear that your tractor was delivered with the "old" seat, and you should call your dealer to see if a "new" one is available. If he doesn't have one at a decent price, you might want to contact Neil at Messicks ( see his current thread about having 11 more seats). The new seat is definitely worth the few bucks it might cost. It is much more comfortable, and makes the operator area on your tractor feel more roomy.
