Default RECENT seat purchases

Been toying with buying some replacement Cadet seats. Now for those of you that have bought one within the last 6 months or so, Where did you go for as close to original as possible AND at a great price including shipping?

I've heard that CaseIH is actually selling a great seat at a great price, but that's a 4 hour trip for me and I don't know about decent shipping prices.

The models I am looking seat for are 982, 1811,2072. Also 128 and 2284.

Couple sites have better shipping than others. There appear to be 2 or 3 seats that work on most of mine, but the reviews are all over the place. This crowd's personal experience would be my preference.

You could check out Northern Tool (in Cary, NC). Not sure, but I think you can buy online and have them ship to the store.

Bought 2 seats and like them. Very close to the originals on my 782s.

Oh Heck No!! I'm impressed someone remembered that! No the Johnny Cash special stays as is. It was built for a butt buggy about a decade before I ever bought my Kawaskai Mule. Don't tell anyone but it ALMOST got the frame stretched and a 4 cylinder power unit from a pull type combine (Deere of course) installed. Dad voted me down, said he wanted something more useful. The foot rests extension are from am 80's era Deere shipping container for their lawnmowers.

OK, 3 seats ordered. After reading all the replies I liked the ones from Milsco sold by Seat Warehouse--supposedly the exact seat as in on my 1811 and 2072. Buying form Seat Warehouse is cheaper than anywhere else, including going buying from them thru ebay. Shipping is included. I had to get a different seat than what was originally on my 2284, but as long as it functions OK, I'm fine with that. FWIW, by my research the seat is made by MILSCO and sold thru Stens, Northern Tool, Seat Warehouse, and K&M. With the holiday season, I expect to get them by the first full week of January. That's OK, they are predicting no snow to speak of here and the Cadet with the blade needs a minutes TLC, but it has an OK seat.

Thanks for the reccomendations guys. I'll post pics when I get them and install them--but the way my luck is going it could be mid-March.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
