What is a Michigan Seat?
The seat on my 1650 has finally gotten to the point where I want to fork over the money to replace it. (Why does something made mostly of foam cost so much?!?!) Searching around for a better bottom had me come across the term "Michigan Style" seat.
Intrigued as to why people in the state of Michigan would have a seat different from the rest of us, I searched around a bit on the web trying to find an answer, and found none. Lots of places selling "Michigan Style", but no explanation as to the name. Most seats I saw labeled as "Michigan Style" were high back, with nothing really special that I could see. Although, Northern Tool listed this seat as "Michigan Style". But, that looks like a seat you would put on a old school RER. So, I pose these questions here: What is a "Michigan Style" seat? And what make is different enough that it isn't just called a "High Back" or "Low Back"? |

I have never heard that term either.
Get the correct seat with the correct mounting holes. They are not cheap, I know, but will last a long time if properly cared for as in not leaving it out in the elements or abused. |

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.
