As far as the other two...citybots shell out big bucks for that kinda stuff!!

I'm not quite back to it Chris, but I'm getting closer. Just trying to give myself a little breathing room by clearing some stuff that don't belong.

The bottom one is correct for a WC.

Bottom one is also correct for a WF. The larger one on the right looks like the type used on McCormick-Deering.

I think a 1951 WD looks similar to the center seat pan, but with 5 holes instead of 3 holes.

The original seat for my '51 disintegrated years ago. However, the original operators manual shows the three hole version as is the middle seat.

My 53 wd has the 5 hole seat, similar to the one on top left. I have an aftermarket WC seat with the one on the top right.

my daughter took and put implement seats like these on top of the old steel milk cans, and made bar stools out of them for her kitchen. They are pretty neat looking.

Les, the one in the center is the correct one!!!! The early WC, WF, WD had the three hole pan seat, the LATTER WDs and the WD45 had the 5 hole seats. BUT........dealers were switching seats all the time to whatever a guy wanted. Supposedly more holes meant a cooler ride.......
Just for you info ALONE (other guys, DO NOT READ THIS!! by penalty of a lickin at the wood shed) DO NOT throw them away!! WHAT we gonna do with you when YOU get OLD???? Throw you in the scrap pile?? SHEESH!!!
YES, git ahold of some ole mile cans and bolt em to em and when I come down to visit, we can sit on em and enjoy a barley pop!!
