LS MT 2XXX Models with LB1300 Backhoe have swivel seat problems?

Actually, I have welded it myself and it is holding up but LS is supposed to give me the redesigned one. Although I've welded the seat up pretty good I still need the piston that assists in raising the seat up...that broke as well.

When you get it, it'll be unassembled. Getting that shock in there is a bugger to say the least.

My seat rocks side to side, the X bars should lock in the front when it is not in the backhoe position. Love the tractor, hate the seat assembly!

Did the welds on the X bars break? I'm told there is a redesign which beefs up the welds on the MT225s. I've been waiting for my replacement to arrive. LS dealer claims it needs to arrive from South Korea. Customer service, in my experience, has been poor at best. Good Luck!

It has been over 7 months now and the new frame has been holding up and working great I think they fixed there problem.
