Drawbar seat for parade tractor photos

Does anybody know where I can find some photos of some bench style seats that people have rigged up to attach to their drawbars or receiver hitches so that people can ride in a parade behind their tractor but not in a wagon or on a float? I know I have seen something like this before but I can't find any photos that would give me a good idea as to how they are constructed or how they attach to the back of a tractor. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
here's two to choose from- I know which one I would choose!

Two ideas:
If we knew what tractor you have, we could be more specific, and waste much less time.
Use substantial 1.5X1.5X1/4" angle iron. Bolt it to non adjustable castings and make sure the hitch (if hydraulic) cannot intrude into the seat or leg area.
Assure hand holds and arm rest/arms, that retain the rider left and right away from tires and moving drive train components. Shielding is mandatory for rotating PTO like elements. Cushions must be solid enough to be secure, not pillows. Back rests should provide security and be strong enough to assure its strength against leaning back and acceleration forces.
Due to liability issues, I recommend you have a design looked at by a farmer, or structural specialist. They will not sign off, but could warn you away from grief. A removable seat from Mini vans with arms!! Might be a good start. Jim
 
Here is a photo of the cart I built that hooks up to my 3 pt,from 2 x 2 tubing using the back seat of a golf cart as the seat w/seat belts. I also installed four swivel wheels so that I can easily move it around in the shop, when not on the tractor.
Sorry for the two photo's. Didn't think the one had loaded & can't figure out how to delete the second one. Hope this helps! Good luck on building a seat.
