Lawn Mower, Garden Tractor UTV / ATV Seat Black High Back Vinyl Universal Mount B1LGT100BL

I bought this seat to replace one that was 17 years old and falling apart. It is designed to fit almost any mower and fit mine just fine. I do not rate the comfort of this seat to be high but it is equal to the factory seat that it replaced. Overall it seems to be decent quality, time will tell.

I've had this Craftsman 42" DYS 4500 Mower since 2007. This was the second time that I need to replace the seat. The first-time replacement was an OEM seat. Same as the original. This time around I could not find the OEM again, so I rolled the dice and bought this one.With the first attempt, I used the provided threaded inserts, drilled 2 holes and put in between some table end rubber so that the front of the seat was just about level. Well after using the mower a few times to haul some winter branches and other debris to the back 40, the rubber ends (with one end drilled down the middle) were cracking and ready to fall apart. Also, as others have noted here, the threaded inserts are a weak point and the front two had been pushed inward and away from the hard plastic surface. I had to remove the pressure switch and fish them out with a long-handled magnet.Back to the drawing board ...I found and bought from McMaster-Carr online, a bag of 10 Steel, 3/8"-16 Thread, 0.438" Diameter x 5/8" High Barrel Screw-Mount Nuts (see picture). I am sure they are available elsewhere too. I've also posted a comparison of the old screw mount that is installed from the inside versus the new screw mount which I installed from the outside.I drilled the 4 holes in the seat as shown with a 7/16" bit. I've posted a close up of the first one inserted. Before I had inserted it, I applied some Gorilla glue then I used the three (3) small screws to make sure it was not going anywhere!For the next step, I replaced the table end rubber stops with a more reliable (I hope) idea to provide separation and the necessary seat tilt was to use some heavy-duty rubber skid pads that I purchased from Home Depot. I bought 4 of them. Since the middle of the rubber skid pads did not have a 7/16" inch hold, and the metal was a real bugger to drill (I was using Cobalt bits), I decided to use a sharp knife and cut a half circle on the backside in order to extract what looks like a thin washer. They most likely are stainless metal. I then used some Gorilla glue to fill in the area that I had cut which will give it some strength back since these are most likely the next potential weak spot in the overall design.I then used washers on both sides of the under-seat mount, then put each 2" long 7/16" bolt through four (4) hard rubber pads for the front and two (2) hard rubber pads for the back of the seat (to level it).The final assembly is shown from the underside of the seat and a side view too. So far, I’ve used the mower three times and it seems to be holding together! This seat is by far the most comfortable seat that I have had on the mower! I sure love the extra back support besides having extra cushion too. Since we have some rough spots on the property (lots of moles) and hills too, this will help in a big way!!!

Great replacement seat for Husquavarna garden tractor. Very comfortable and bolt pattern fit without any modifications

This is a great lawn mower replacement seat. It is beefy, not wimpy, it should last a long time. The original one greatly needed to be replaced. I was excited to find this one at a fairly reasonable price. It fit great on my Simplicity lawn mower.

Good, solid, comfortable seat but did not frit craftsman or ariens riding mowers.

The size and the comfort

Had to do some modifications (which was expected) to the seat bracket on my 1989 Kubota T1400H lawn tractor. However it was worth it, it's a lot more comfortable and supportive which is nice for my bad back.
