I know it's been months but finally have the seat assembly blasted and painted. Now I need to buy cushions for it. Any recommendations?      ------------- The Allis "D" Series Tractors, Gravely Walk behind Tractors, Cowboy Action Shooting !!!!!!! And Checkmate |

| We bought seat from JC farm and garden supply at a show over the summer. Really nice people to deal with |

| Platform tops match the seat spacer height. |

| Seat height is very comfortable now with the spacers and raised platform. The suspension has also been reworked. Before the Doc's work it would beat the heck out of me |

| It really helps offset the high crown fenders and what seems to be a higher hood compared to a D-17. A good suspension that keeps you up off the bottom is the first start. I like my feet to just touch the platform when I'm in the seat for the best view on a 170/175. |

You need to put a heavy washer as large of diameter as you can under bolt heads. It will fatigue them holes in seat frame on them spacers over time. JMHO, Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |
