In Reply to: Hoosier tractor seat posted by Mark Davis on February 18, 1998 at 17:00:15:
: A friend of mine purchased a metal tractor seat at a flea market. It has the word "HOOSIER" stamped on it. He wanted to know what type of tractor it came off of and how old it is. Thanks for any info you can give us.
The Hoosier cast iron seat is popular, as you might guess, with the Indiana University crowd. Most of the cast iron seats were manufactured before the turn of the century and were found on horse drawn equipment. If you would like some more information on cast iron seats you can contact Ms. Charolotte Traxler, RFD 2, Box 38, Le Center, MN 56057. She is secretary of the Cast Iron Seat Collectors group. The final auction of one of the largest collections in the US will take place in Ionia, MO on March 14th.
