Backrest for pan seat on Cub Cadet 100?
 

I have seen a few backrests on 100 pan seats.I think ACecil and litlmikeyl has/had them. Were they an option when new or a later addition maybe meant for some other tractor or equipment? I have a couple of 100's w/pan seat that I would like to have backrests for. Does anyone know where I might buy a backrest?

Pictures of backrest.

Yes, it was an option.

They look like back rests from 50's office chairs or steel shop stools (the gray ones with the masonite pad). Maybe something like that could be used?

that's what i was thinking, you could pick up a chair at a flea market for cheap and steal the backrest off it and make the brackets.

There was one on one of my "Os" when I bought it. Had to take it off when I put the 3 point on.

I've never had one of those stools and the Original side by side but they really do look like the stool backrests that Berwil described.

Those two 100's look familiar. :biggrin2:

If you can find a junk Holland transplanter like tobacco farmers used from the 60's to about early 90's, you could get a backrest there. I know its not "correct" but if you are after function and not restoration, it could be an option.

Thank You,Gentlemen for the helpful responses.

ACecil,I have always liked your 100's with backrests,seeing them is what made me want backrests myself.
.By the way,did you get that dually 100 from Tommy Hooper in Raleigh? I know him,I just talked to him on the phone.

I sure did, Tim. Tom and I have been friends for almost 14 years. I talked to him today also.
