| Anyone had any luck finding affordable seat cushions for the early 175-185-200 tractor seats?? Black vinyl bottom and back cushions, flip up arm rests and 1 inch square tubes running up from the seat pan to the back rest. I'm talking 1970 thru all of 1973 time frame. P/n's 70255581 back rest, 70256350 bottom cushion and 70255583 arm rests. Thank you. |

| I see JenSales has every number I listed. Not exactly cheap and not original looking as the OEM ones were ribbed surfaces not smooth. |

Dr. I wish I could find a good seat frame like those. I want to switch one of the low back seats on one of mine. I can make one, but it is a bunch of work to match the original. Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

They sure aren't very affordable anymore. Last I got were 5 years ago, got 2 sets; a set for 185 in vinyl and set for 200 in black fabric seat & back. Just before the OEM style arm rests were discontinued. ------------- AC 200, CAH, AC185D bareback, AC 180D bareback, D17 III, WF. D17 Blackbar grill, NF. D15 SFW. Case 1175 CAH, Bobcat 543B, |

| I'm looking at a tractor that has a good seat pan and back pan, but the cushions are removed. Doesn't get restoration started off very well when you've got to spend $500 bucks to have a decent place to park your tush. |

| Best seat deal I've found yet is a complete (pan/cushions/backrest) seat assembly for a 706/806 Farmall for less than $200 bucks !! And that is a nice seat with the back rest height adjustable instead of fixed. |

Know that feeling well! When getting my 756 going, couldn't get the starter to engage. My uncles idea, new wiring harness. They were just $750 at the time. Problem turned out to be three bad starters in a row! Still has the original harness. Exhaust manifold was cracked, junkyard wanted $500 for one!! I brazed mine up, still working fine. Moral of this story; It's hard to pump big money into something that is a completely unknown quantity like this was.

| arm rests are a problem. if metal backing of cushion is good take them to apolstery shop and have recovered. seat and back cushions are available new but the molded arm rest are gone. good luck. |

| has any one thought about using the seat pan for a d17 and the back rest from a farmall 706 with brackets fabbed to put the two pieces together that could possibly make a nice looking seat that would be comfortable , just thinking about my d17 d project |

| I can buy a whole IH 706/806 series seat bottom, wrap around back/armrest and the high back rest for $200 bucks. I need to get the FleetFarm store to open a box to be sure those parts are all there. What it doesn't include are the side brackets to attach the wrap around back/armrest to the bottom cushion. I'd have to fabricate those, but that is a pretty nice seat with good back support at a good price. |
