Moving the seat back further

Has anyone tried mounting their seat to the back hole on the U-post support?

I was just wondering if the hole may be to far back on the post to keep from ripping or tearing up the seat support. I'm pretty sure the seats were designed to mount to the front hole only.
But I'm 6'2" and I need the extra room. whtractor/thumbsup.gif

Should be no problem Brian. I've picked up several tractors along the way that had the seats "all the way back".

Well I'm 6'1" and also own a D series and I think the D is more "cramped" than my C series stuff whtractor/scratchhead.gif

Teddy Boy Howdy!!! I am really glad you said that instead of me!!! I stand a good 6'4" and it can be rough for me also but mine is more height than width. You should see me when I am on the rj's Burly

All you giants can sell me your RJs, 5' 7" fits em just right

Cool Beans!!..Just thought I'd ask. I was just worried that with less metal supporting the seat, It may have caused issues.

BTW..You all are nuts!

Ok Brian If we are nuts were does that leave you- Ring Leader?

I took the original seat off my D-180, used the welder to cut off the part that sits on the spring (up to the rubber pads on the cross-bar, then I fit a seat and mounting assembly from an older C-195, and now I have plenty of room. I'm almost 6' tall, and the new set-up raises me up to a very comfortable position...also lets me see over the hood of the D-180 so I can miss obstacles I couldn't see with the original seat set-up. That's just me....but I really would do that swap all over again. I really like the outcome!!!!

I bought my B-100 from a guy who's about 6'2" or 6'3" (Perry would know how tall he actually is), and he not only had the seat all the way back but had made some mods to go back a tad further. Seeing as how I stretch out to about 5'6", my neighbors got a chuckle when I drove it for the first time - couldn't reach the brake, eh.
