JD Backhoe seat assembly options?

NMBlackBetty ยท 2026-04-07 22:34

Got a 1979 JD 410 Backhoe delivered today. Absolutely hate the seat setup. Looking at options to replace it from the floor up. The factory seats from these years are wobbly at best. I see a few options out there for $1,200 and up but those would require a ton of custom fab work to install. Anyone done a seat assembly swap on these 70's Deeres before that has a recommendation?
