Brian: If you are over 6' like me neither the standard pan seat nor the delux seat that was optional at the time will be any better than what you have. That has always been the down fall of these little offsets from A through to 140. I have both type seats and by using 1.5" square tubing along the seat rails you can raise seat and place it back more. I have two 1.5" square tubes under delux seat of my 130. I did this as the rear rockshaft for fast hitch was striking and breaking seat.

I have photos scanned of these, just don't know how well the square tubing modification shows up. It's actually quite easy to do, just mount the tubing along the rail seat mounts on, extend them back about 4" beyond rail, then mount seat on those and back about 3 to 4 inches further than you could on old rail. Only way I know to make these little offsets comfortable for a tall man. I tried a few other ideas first, always resisting raising the seat. That indeed turned out to be the secret. My 130 seat is 3" higher than normal and having snow blade on it, the one I do shuttle work with. 130 has two 1.5" tubes cross ways, and two length ways on top of that.
