I made a 3/16" thick seat plate that would 'hang off the back' of the tractor, and bolt to the original seat plate. I made it with 2 sets of holes, so dad could adjust it to suit him. He loves that Huskee now...what can I say, at least it's an MTD. He uses the Huskee now and lets his John Deere sit :biggrin2.gif:
Making a seat plate to bolt to the original seat spring mounting holes should work for you too...basically what you have already done, but with a little more support.
You also might want to look for a Cub Cadet Super Garden Tractor. They should give you more room  |
Haha I would LOVE a Cub Cadet Super Garden Tractor!
I was thinking of making a plate just like that, or just getting some lengths of straight iron and putting a length on each side then mounting it all together after drilling holes in the straight iron.
Thanks for the advice so far guys.
