The orginal seat plate is over $300. according to our local dealer so to buy one and modify it would be expensive but if someone were to send me their existing seat pan I could do the modifacation and send it back painted and ready to install. The turnaround would be fast because id do the modification the same day the seat pan arrived and ship it out the next day. The only thing left to do would be to drill four holes and bolt your new seat in.
Out of all the mods I've done with both our tractors when it comes to my personal health this seat is the absolute best and #1 in my opinion.
If I hadn't figured out a way to add the air ride seat the 5740 was going to be sold and I'd be in another brand tractor.
I spent three heavenly hours in the machine the last few weeks and it was soooooo comfy
$300 for the seat plate???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pardon me while I pick my jaw up off the floor.
I have a welder neighbor that I will be visiting; for a few dollars, and a suitcase of beer, I think I can have my seat plate modified. Was thinking about purchasing a new one, and saving the original (why, I have no idea), but sheesh- that $300 would help toward the new seat cost & may even put SWMBO in a happier mood about this project.
Thanks again to all for the responses!
By the way, excellent pics!
