Seat in 200

I got my 190 seat from Speer Cushion Company. Good stuff!

I purchased an exact match seat assembly, frame and cushions from a Serco Loaders supplier, for our 185(1975) Serco uses the Milsco (Milwaukee Seat Co) seats on their timber loaders, similar to the seats on the 1975 185 with the thick black cushions and grid type pillowing on the seat and back cushion. I believe Allis Chalmers used that style of seat in the 100 Series tractors in the mid/late seventies. The Serco Dealer was in Eganville, Ontario, but you should be able to find a Dealer in areas where tree harvesting equipment is sold. The Serco website has info on their dealer locations, and pictures of the seats on the various loaders they sell. It took me a year to track down the seat, but it was worth the hunt.

The new seat assembly is exactly the same as the seat that was on our brand new 185, when the dealer delivered it to our farm in May, 1975!!!

Like joe said k m has steel cores and Speercushion has wood. The guy at k m asked about bolt patern though

Here is the Milsco seat on our 1975 185. As noted in my earlier post, it is an exact match, cushions, frame, to the original seat that came with the tractor. It bolted right on to the 185 seat base.

that's one mighty fine looking 185. Darrel

Mike,
Go to www.sercoloaders.com   

There is a dealer in Syracuse, Frank Tartaglia, 5867 East Molloy Road, 315-455-0100

The website has pics of the seat on the loaders.


Good luck. Let me know if you would like to discuss further

There's no slids on them right

Mike,

Serco Loaders sell and service the loaders. The seats are a replacement part for the factory installed seat. From what I could understand from the dealer I called they sell a lot of the seats, probably due to the working conditions for the losders, outdoors all the time, in the bush!!

I sent the dealer a picture of my old seat and he confirmed the new one was an exact match. Perhaps your dealer in Syracuse could do the same.

A Milsco rep in Milwaukee gave me the lead to Serco Loaders / Two Harbours Machine in Minnesota. He was very elusive as to why these seats are not available to the normal tractor seat replacement suppliers network on the Internet.

Then again, the whole transition from Allis Chalmers to what it is today is a sad story.

Good luck with your seat purchase

That 185 is my new screen saver, sure is nice looking.
Added benefit of seeing where my new to me 185 has had some lines run that I did not think were original on the hyd pump.
Pic are always nice, especially when the unit looks that good.

Leadoff I'm going to set up a order for the seat you have hooked me up with. We will see how it goes. Thanks for the help

Is it the same company that made them for allis.
The parts guy says you don't want this seat lol. Pricey

Mike,

Congrats on your new seat. It's great to see AC owners make the effort to maintain their equipment and replace worn items with original parts. I found the replacement Milsco Seat assembly to not only look just like the original factory issue but is just as comfortable.

Good luck with your installation!!!

Bump for another forum member to see. Leadoff hope you see this again and could show your picture of your seat. I don't have a picture handy. I hope the seats are still available I went on milsco site and didn't see the seat we bought.

Thanks
I got mine from Portvile truck 716-933-8752 they sell Serco loaders, I had them send me pictures to be sure. I be leave part number is SERHH1005 and SERHH1106
