1944 farmall A seat
Was the original seat for the early A's upholstered or just a plain steel pan?

I am sure someone official will come along and give you a definate answer, but I believe they were covered with gray/silver canvas.

The A was probably like the Cub... it was optional for the pan to have any covering at all. Most, but not all now have some remnant of fabric under the lip. Occasionally you'll see a good original seat like Scruffy's I found in a swap meet.

Thank you, the reason I asked is because my A does not have the original seat and I do want to install one, all the original used seat pans I see out there in the market do not have upholstery. I am debating whether to purchase an original pan and put a cover on it or replace with a reproduction seat.

The uphoulstry was black at that time. IT seems like everyone remembers the silver more, but it didn't come until later--'49 or '50 maybe??? If you look at the color pic from the archives of all the tractors in front of the Louisville plant (somebody posted it not long ago) they all have black seats. THat was in 1948.
