Wide replacement seat 500 series

[pyasher]

Does anyone know if someone makes a wide seat for a JD 500 series tractor? Would like to have room for a child to ride along.

If there was such a manufacturer making a wider seat, it probably would be against any safety regulations. Especially, if the seat was designed to hold a child. I don't think John Deere would ever think of such a item. Most all vehicles that have a seat for two people, usually have doors to prevent the passenger falling out... golf carts or JD Gators have seat for a second occupant, but, they don't have blades under the cart.

This happens more often than you would think.

A year ago I made a distant neighbor mad at me when I addressed him about pulling a little Radio wagon behind his mower while mowing his yard and having his toddler riding in the wagon.
At first I was just going to keep driving when I saw it, but decided for the benefit of the child to point out to him how vulnerable his child was to a stone or other debris that his mower blades may toss out.
He was an adult and should have known better.

Compared to the steering wheel debacle in the other thread this one is really scary...don't do it. Wait until the youngster is old enough to run it on their own imao.
