I want to add an air ride seat to my 5525. My dealer is saying it can't be done.
What is the deal?
Anybody add one?
Thanks,
D.

A welder and some scrap steel take care of that problem.
You got on board compressed air ?

The air ride seats have a built-in compressor.

Really ?, kool,,,,could it serve double duty with a small tank and hose/nozzle to blow off pants legs before climbing in ?
What model 5525 do you have? If it is a cab or IOOS(isolated open operators station), it should bolt right in. If is a straddle mount, fabrication would be needed, not to mention the cushions on air ride seat are cloth, so they would need protecting from the elements on open tractors. .

Here's a different thought..go to the Deere parts homepage and look at a parts book with expanded views. That will tell you what fits and where. As well, it will show pictures so you can maybe figure it out. If no dice, you could call an aftermarket seat maker to see if one is available or not and why or why not. They would likely know more than the dealer and probably built the seat for JD.
I have learned most of the "nope, can't do it" answers in life have more to do with people who give up too easy or from those looking to influence others for whatever reason. Just my two cents.
