LS Tractor introduces the new MT225S | Farms.com. Watch the beginning of this video and look at the seat and rails. The photos of the problem seat and rails look completely different.

The seat looks the same but I don’t see the gray handle that releases the seat to slide. I didn’t get a chance today to take mine apart to see if Kent’s solution works for me.
This is still a minor issue in my mind. It’s a great little tractor.

... I made a small pup seat out of a board, some padding and some blue vinyl. I just lean the main seat forward and sit on the new one.

I had my seat off this weekend. I tried the track rotation and that didn’t help.
I had it on and off a couple times. Finally I relocated the mounting holes on the seat lift 3-7/8 back toward the BH. This might be too much but it’s staying there for now.
Now I have a question about a leftover part. It fell when I first took the seat off the tractor. It might be a leftover from the original none swivel seat but it can’t figure out its intended job. Thoughts?

That’s what I was guessing but both slides still have stops. I’m just hoping it’s not part of the ejection seat assembly. Lol

That piece is a travel limiter. It goes on the right rear seat rail and if the track is not in the right position when installed it will limit forward travel.
It's not really needed as the tracks already have travel stops.
