Seems the Hesston BS100RD is the same seat pan (shape and dimensions) that I found in the barn that came off my MF 35. Difference on the new one was being new, was foam and vinyl lined, and had a spring suspension like is on most larger OEM seats, like on my 2 Fords....without the shock absorber which I have disconnected on them for a smoother ride.
Having the suspension system with a long stroke, like the Fords I mentioned, allows you to set it up for a softer ride yet not bottom out like happens on shorter stroke springs or suspension systems.
The other thing is that the bucket cradles your behind and keeps you from having to grasp a side mounted hand rail to stay in the seat. Height is just right for my 6'5" frame to reach the pedals without having my knees in my chin. Plenty of leg room for getting on and off. Something to think about if you have a little guy (low hp compact tractor) and are tired of bouncing around.
The rear of the bucket seat is high enough to support your lumbar up to about the 5th vertebrae. If you want more you would need to go to the high back like the OEM on Ford 2000 and 3000, or just grasp the steering wheel and let your back "hang loose" grin. But for this little guy (the tractor) I don't think that seat would work for you.
Looked around and ebay had the parts. Ordered it new from from a tractor parts seller "StevenShake" Thursday and received it yesterday....amazing. ebay puts a metric on shipping speed and suppliers heed it. Got it installed and tested today. Yepper it's a winner. Finally satisfied with the ride on this little critter.
A few pictures of it installed in my Branson 2400.
Next to the last pic shows plenty of clearance with the 3 pt full up.
Last pic shows the 2ea. ½" stud mounting for it (like is with Ford 2000, 3000 and some other full size tractors). I fabricated an adapter plate from some old steel I had lying around to fit the tractor's 4 hole landing.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
