As a volunteer with the SS American Victory (a 1945 "Victory" ship in Tampa, FL) I'm helping repair/restore the anti-aircraft guns. They had two tractor type seats, one on each side for the gun's operators. One seat, in poor condition, remains. I assume the seats would have been an off-the-shelf item from one of the tractor manuf. of the day but I don't know which one so I can't really start tracking down a couple of replacements until I can figure out what I should be looking for. The basics: 12 1/2" long by 13" wide. Attaches to a 1" gooseneck with slot in the top. 4" raised rosette in the center of the seat. 1/4" holes (3 of them) about 3" aft of the rosette with 1 1/2 " spacing btwn. centers. 7 thumb-sized indentations are aft of the 3 holes and just before the back of the seat base. The base then raises about 1" then curls straight down. The entire ridge around the seat rolls straight down about 1" to 2" without any further lips or beads. The seat is of pressed steel and is very basic and plain looking. Can anyone make a guess as to the source? How about a reference book that might have pictures I could compare ours with. The replacements won�t have to be exact but I would like to have them look somewhat like the originals. If there is a tractor seat "historian" out there I could use some help. Thanks in advance.

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
