Anyone have a buddy seat in a 8000 series tractor?
Saw one from K and M seats that might work. Pictures would be great.
Thanks Randy

I have 2 pair of the jump seats from a 93 Dodge ClubCab. One pair is tan and the other pair is gray. These don't take up much room and could be probably easily be made to work. When not needed they fold up out of the way.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

I think there’s someone on forum that cut in a small drop down in fender to make a buddy seat. It looked really good. If memory is right.

Looks to be a K&M seat.

I need to update my original post, but i eventually got the buddy seat installed this fall. I used seat, this was the cheapest place when i bought one. On a side note there is a guy on the 8000 series Facebook page selling the piece of steel to weld in and the seat for $400. I made my own because i have a plasma cutter and was already cutting other pieces of steel for the cab, otherwise i would've bought his pre-made kit. http://https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/side-kick-buddy-seat-fabric-brown-new-127261.html

977.3Ford, your cab’s buddy seat looks great. Thanks for the follow up photo of it. I notice your tractor has GPS auto steer installed on it. How do you like it? How accurate is it? Did you upgrade any hydraulics for it?

Its an old Ag Leader On-Trac 2 electric assist. its just an electric motor that clamps onto the steering wheel and turns the steering wheel itsself. It works good when it works good, but its an old system on an old tractor and has its limitation. Biggest issue i have at the moment is play in the steering system, so the autosteer has to turn the steering wheel a decent bit before the tractor changes direction. That leads to it wiggling down the field at times as its trying to keep centered on my line. With that being said i got this system after i bought a 15ft drill without markers a couple years ago, this was considerably cheaper than buying markers and does a heck of a lot better job than i could do hand steering, especially at night.
