broken tractor seat

[Josef]

I've taken about 40 pictures of my problem but when I look
at the picture, I can't make any sense out of the photo myself.
There is what I take to be a brace broken at the top and then
where the brace attaches at the bottom is also broken. Major
problem is that you can't get a decent camera angle.
If someone could be so kind as to send me a diagram, I might
maybe could make more sense.

Josef,

take one that is a little bit away from the seat - then take another up close the best you can.
that way we have a reference point to look at

Is the brace that is broken in the view below?

 

[Josef]

This is about as good as I can do picture wise. Sadly, some of the pictures got turned,
1 upside down and 1 by 90 degrees. The picture that says Springs is upside down, the
braces are outside of the springs. I have the broken brace on the left partially proped up.
You can see the right hand brace near the end of the tractor T handle. Look to the left and
lower you will see the other brace. I feel really sure that the lower end of the braces
Should be 1 piece also.

 

[Josef]

Sadly no. It all looks like mine without the braces.

Based on the pictures you uploaded, I think you need:

No code has to be inserted here.

It doesn't look like you can get the part you need by itself.

Josef, if the price on the assembly is sky high, that could be repaired. Know anybody with a welder?

 

[Josef]

I have a very strong feeling that it will be sky high. I would certainly
go down the welding repair road before I spent a bunch of money.
I'm thinking it really doesn't need to be adjustable, convenient probably
But not a must. The seat safety Switch will need to work. Right now
the seat Wobbles all over the place but the safety switch works.

Thanks very much, I knew you would put a number
To it for me.

Aren't you still under warranty?

Yea I welded mine when it was broken!

 

[Josef]

Aren't you still under warranty?

Looking in the owners warranty manual which is difficult to understand,
I come to the conclusion that the tractor seat was 2 years or 2,ooh hours.
Two years was last summer.

What did you do to fix the seat?

 

[Josef]

Sorry about that, took it to the local welding shop.
