I purchased another set of seat cushions form http://www.tractorpartsasap.com and highly recommend them both for the quality of the cushions and the customer service. I ordered them on Monday and they arrived on Wednesday. The only problem I had was there was no place to mount the backrest cushion. I contemplated buying a different seat frame but after checking prices, I changed my mind. I decided to fabricate my own backrest support. I considered trying to replicate the original but that looked like to much work. Having the look or the original didn't concern me I was only concerned that it look decent. After giving it some thought I decided to fabricate 2 brackets from sheet metal and weld them to the seat frame.
The previous owner hacked the former bracket off and in one location blew a section of the seat frame away. I cut out the bad section and welded in a patch.
The bracket were formed from 14 gauge sheet steel.
The brackets were welded to the seat frame shot with some IH red paint from a rattle can.
Then installed the new cushions.
With the seat installed on the Lo-Boy, I'm willing to bet that 99.9% of the people out there would never know it wasn't original. But I'd never fool the Cub guys here.
