Sorry, no pics as of yet but I have been browsing through the numerous pictures of this site for the seat that is on my 8N. I'll try to describe as best I can. It looks like a standard flip-up seat but it rests on a coil spring with a shock absorber inside. The bracket that houses this mechanism is fairly elaborate. I have yet to see a pic of one on here. Was this a option or standard equipment back then? Just curious.

thanks Mike

I know for a fact that I have one wooden "round tuit" in there somewhere.

(if the Ole Lady's kids havent stolen it)

Jim, I think in a box of really old stuff I saw some of those roundtuit's so if I find them I can maybe send you one or two.

If you have a Knoedler and you want to rebuild
it check the Oliver Board for Phil Heisey, he probably has all the parts. CockShutt used that
seat on its tractors

It never ceases to amaze me at the amount of *SMART* folks left, especially on this board.

15 years, they won't be many left, at all.

Lets hope that there are a lot of younger folks reading what goes on here.

(or at least have access to the archives)

But as bad as I hate it, I bet there are very few.

Sounds like it could be a Knoedler seat. Does it look like this one? I found this photo in the Parts & Pieces Gallery.

The Knoedler seat was an aftermarket seat that could be set for different spring rates to match the size of the operator.

I have one of these that I took off of my 8N. All the bushings are worn out. I would be willing to part with it for the shipping if any one is interested.

I have one similar to your picture and it is very comfortable. The only problem I see with mine is that it reduces the leg room. I need to be shorter! (Or SLIMMER)

Here's a possible solution that I found on a tractor. Remove your seat and bolt this to the tractor. Then bolt the seat to this spacer. Result is seat is higher and farther back. I'm still waiting for a roundtuit before I can put this on my 800.
