BH77 Rotating Seat

[beckmurph]

The rotating seat support on my BH77 broke off
Last Saturday while bush hogging.
920 hours on the LX2610.

It appears that the load was riding on the rear of the white bearing instead of being spread around the entire ring.

Please post a pic of that setup. I been wanting a rotating seat on my BH76. Thanks

This will have me looking at my own B2650/BH77 rotating seat mount now.
"seat support on my BH77" meaning the tractor's rotating seat, for the BH77, not "on the bh77"?
"while bush hogging" presumably means the BH was disconnected.


Hate to sound prying, but are you a particularly heavy guy?

Yes.
i way 200lbs.

200 isn't particularly heavy, IMO. I've been 180-190 through most of my tractor's 1300ish hours.

Looks fixable with a welder, but it seems like pretty thin metal. MIG maybe?

I'm probably missing something here, but how did part of the BH break while running a bush hog?

I will agree with @Caden , the pics make it look like a good “weld project”.

Hell, it might even be a cool “first welding project” if you don’t have a welder already.

Or in my case, it is a great “welder buying excuse"

Since I’m spending your money, lets “go big”….Miller Dynasty!!!!!



Only $16K……

It’s Not part of the backhoe. It’s the seat base that they put on the tractor to replace the original one, when you install a backhoe on the tractor. It comes with the backhoe so that you can raise and turn around the seat to operate the backhoe. It stays on the tractor permanently regardless of whether you have the backhoe attached or not.

Dealer has filed a claim with KTAC.
I think it will be denied, but for $1100 it is worth a shot.
