L3200 Seat swap

Anyone out there know if I bought a seat for a grand L kubota if it would fit my basic L3200? or does anyone know if I could add arm rests?

There have been numerous seat swaps posted but I can't say that was one of them. I would think the dealer should be able to tell you if it's a quick bolt-on option. Can't imagine you're the first to think about it. You could even grab a tape measure and visit a dealer?

I did ask when I bought it new, they basically said it could not be done. Maybe I should go down like you said and look myself... thanks chim.

It could require modifying or making another mounting bracket. I used a replacement seat with suspension on my B7500. I had to make my own mounting brackets, but it was worth the effort because the stock seat slapped my tender parts silly when running over bumps. The factory seat and mounting hardware went back on when I sold it. The suspension seat was still in good shape so I donated it to one of the towmotors at work.

Yeah I dont mind doing that, I will head down to my dealer maybe this weekend. I am getting ready to do my 50hr service, I dont remember but it seems like they want me to change all the hyd fluid so I have to get a few more gallons of sud2 anyway. Did you change your hyd fluid chim when you did your 50 hour?

I did the recommended maintenance at 50 hours (didn't include fluid change). I did all the fluids at somewhere around 100 hours and used SUDT2. It seemed to quiet the hydro whine somewhat.
