Identify this seat. XX10 Series w/ Cab

I'm looking at getting new cushions for our 6610 seat. I've been on Messick's website and I'm having some issues identifying which style seat we have. (Grammer?, Bostrom?) Attached is a picture off tractor house with the exact same seat.

Let me know what I've got.

Thanks

Hi if your seat and base are exactly like this
picture. I would say it's a KAB/ bostrom seat i think the 2 companies are together now. the blue
and white sticker on that left lower rail are a
good clue. Wink Wink!. many tractor brands have
had them over the years. Now you just got to
hope you can find the parts. I have been
looking for cushions for one of my other brand
seats and they are NLA. and I'm not buying a
new seat right now!.

i did search for this seat on the CNH part site and came up with 2 similar seats on Cabbed 7810 tractors. one came up as a bostrom viking 303, Can't think what the other was but if you go search that 7810 tractor. on the parts site with them it comes up with many different seats and parts in the drop down listings on that tractor pages . That should get you what you need hopefully if you can figure it out from the picture there.

If it's exactly like that one, then it's a KAB... Most 10 series flat decks had Bostrom seats. Those were generally the flat blue cloth in the older models and the black with blue pinstripes on the Force II cabs. Bring a defib with you when you price that seat...
Even a decent Grammer will run you 5-700 depending... The last time I priced the Bostrom it was over 4 grand.

KAB? I'm assuming that is an aftermarket manufacturer. The options listed on the New Holland parts site and Messicks website list Bostrom or Grammar but I have seen any mention of KAB.

Where would one find replacement cusions? Or as you are saying, its not financially reasonable to do so?

I might be able to get the cushions re-upholtered which sounds like it may be cheaper.

KAB was very much an OEM supplied seat on many Ford models of the day. I can't say that I've ever seen one in a Q-cab but they were prominent on the 30 series tractors. I never muck liked the KAb seat we had on a 3930. It gave the most impossible ride. It was either WAY too high or if you lowered it, the most spine jarring ride you could possibly imagine. Grammer, by comparison... is like riding on cloud nine.
If you can find the stuff in the parts book you may be able to get a replacement cushion or pan for that seat. I don't know. Normally I just haul the whole works out and replace it. Last one I changed was on my TS90... and I used a Grammer on that from an aftermarket source... I think it was around 700 some dollars.
When you want a good quality suspension seat you're going to spend about that much money. You can get the cheap offshore seats for less money, and sometimes they are about the only viable option you have... but they do not last much more than about 10 years or so.
I would suggest you call a local dealer. They all mostly have aftermarket sources through A&I and other such outfits that will get you something and probably not cost you shipping... plus they may have something in stock that you can view and assess whether or not you want it.

Just posting to help anyone who may run into this in the future.

It took me some time but this KAB seat (note it is a KAB 303 seat) is referred to as a Bostrom Viking 303 seat on the CNH website parts breakdown.

That is what I was originally asking, which parts diagram to use.

Did you find a cushion for it? I have one like it except that mine has a lot less fabric left.
