I just put the exact same one on my Ford 2600. Just bought my first tractor 2 weeks ago. Super pumped to start cleaning up the land

@trekzilladmc 6 жыл бұрын

I purchased the same one at my local Farm & Fleet for my Ford 4400. I love how it has the suspension feature, unlike the OEM one that mounted fast to the transmission housing (bounce, bounce, bounce). Giving me that little bit of extra height does really well.

I have a MF 240 1988 and have mowed with it for 10 years. Love it. Easy on fuel and very powerful for it's size.

@dannybrown8602 3 жыл бұрын

I have owned a 1988 MF240 for 10 years and love the way it has foot rest up high to give you something to brace your feet on, taking stress off the lower back. I mow 3 acres every week in the summer. I replaced my seat with the same one and had the same issues when installing, so don't feel bad. Great tractor!

@2artactical55 3 жыл бұрын

I custom mounted that exact same seat in my 1997 Max IV Amphibious 6x6 ATV and it made riding in it so much more comfortable! For the price it was a great cheap improvement!

I have a 1988 MF 240 which is very powerful and is easy on fuel. I mow 3 acres each week in the summer. Love the foot rest which is easy on the back when mowing for hours. I replaced my seat with the one like you have. I bought mine at tractor supply for around $100. Thanks.

Thanks for uploading another good video. It just shows that even "simple" jobs sometimes can take a bit longer than you originally think. I have just bought myself an old Masey Ferguson tractor, and I think I will also be upgrading the seat, as I do have a bad back to start with! I expect to have the tractor delivered sometime this week as it is down in Sydney and I am in a rural area 3.5 hours West of Sydney over the Blue Mountains here in New South Wales,(Australia). It will be interesting to see how much the towing company charges me for the pickup and delivery of my tractor.

When first watching this I was mumbling "Skip the trivia," but you have some good stuff. All my projects, no matter how simple, become a pain in the @$$. I'm happy your walked us thru the REALITY of this. Also: While cranking down some bolts you reminded us that tractors have a lot of vibration. I think your unstated point was "therefore make sure these are tight or these bolts will fall out."
