You know.... "back in the day" you could get one from CCC for $100 or less.
I need new seats on my tractors too. The one on the 1811 is getting pretty ratty. I put it on new shortly after I bought it in 2001 or 02 (I can't recall when I bought the tractor, lol). I got a genuine CC seat from the dealer for it. It's even embossed with the logo. As I recall, I paid about $100 for it back then. Now, they want around $150 for same exact seat.
My question is..... if you can still get the seat for $100..... is it inflation, or greed?
