Hi.Deconstructed the IH504 seat this weekend to re-cover. Every bolt on the outside sheared off and is rust welded inside the frame from 35 years of rain. Easy outs won't work. Abandon this ship. I priced a new stock seat but that doesn't get us more mowing comfort. A "universal" tractor seat at Agri-Supply is about the same price but has slide adjustment and a shock absorber. I presume that has to be a step up technologywise and comfortwise, assuming it is not cheesy quality. We probably would have to custom mount with a couple flat pieces of steel and a couple drilled holes. If I get your blessing on this choice, I will order it and hope for good quality. It is about $100. Anyone have any experience with the quality of the Universal seats from Agri-Supply?? I have four other tractors that need new seats and I've had 3 hip operations so I need smooth shock absorbing comfort. Thanks for your thoughts.
