I think my local NH store and TSC have the same seat at about the same price. I like that seat and it saves shipping and sending it back if something goes wrong. [Reply]  [No Email]

You can see here I modified it a bit for my height & weight.... The other Ford has a Rest-O-Ride which is good since I installed new springs, just not quite as E-Z. :-) [Reply]  [No Email]

It bolts right on and has adjustable suspension and can be set back further which I find more comfortable. Mark http://www.ytmag.com/TS1075ATSP_24289.htm [Reply]  [No Email]

They were OEM on the 100 series. They will cost you less than $100 on eBay & will need to be rebuilt for another $150 or so. 50 Tips [Reply]  [No Email]

New Monroe seats have not been produced for several years, although repair parts are readily available. Only other option I know of is one of those high dollar units that would require some engineering to make it fit. [Reply]  [No Email]

This site I know has some as will any good farm and home and even a dealer. Each can be good bad or some place between. [Reply]  [No Email]
