I wouldn't want to do it for a show tractor but I wonder if anyone has ever
tried to retrofit a modern comfortable seat to a more functional location on
a WD 45?   I recently replaced the factory seat on my working D-14.   I
didn't want to but the seat was busted and I needed to work the tractor so I
figure I'll put the old seat in the project pile and enjoy the new one.   I
bought the new seat from Agri-Supply but I have seen the same one in the
Valu-bilt catalog.
It is made in India of all places but it is a NICE seat that adjusts up and
down, forward and backwards and has an adjustable shock absorber.    Cost
$70.00
