I have the same design from TS on my MF65

[@tomkearns6830]

I just installed a new seat on my MF 1250 . It was a TICSEA Universal Forklift Seat with Adjustable Black,Safety Belt And Operator Position Switch. While it looked simple, not as simple as yours, it took hours to install. The most troublesome task was to install the travel rails on the seat rails. First there was NO instructions. Second the tolerance between the screws that attach the seat rails and the travel rail was so tight, I finally had to take a washer off the travel rail to get the seat t slide. The conclusion was much more comfortable seat with slides and has a built in seat belt. Like you say there are always ways to screw things up. Instructions would be helpful but leave it to Amazon to save $0.25 on paper.

[@earnharvick]

Instructions???? we don't need no stinking instructions! LOL!!!!!!

[@dcsoxford]

How much ??? You could have bought a pick-up truck for that price !!!! hahahahahaha

[@treeclimbing7798]

dcsoxford Quick Thinking 🤔 But Less repairs for 💺 seats in the long haul. I don’t think seats need spark plugs ?

[@johngnipper8768]

Stellar comment!

[@MrStubat]

Please put a ROPs on your tractor. Please they are a safety essential

[@mountainmike1685]

I have days where everything just works against me😁 Does that seat feel like it will support you side to side if driving on a hill side? I mow mountainous property and need more support. Thanks for the video.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yeppers...its' got supports on the waist line...much better than the original in my opinion...but you'll have to judge it for yourself

[@ovalwingnut]

B. U. T. FULL tractor. Nice upgrade! Why aren't these seats "all the rage" in our rOuGh RiDiNg road-pickup-trucks? You're tractor has it. Big Rigs have it... Your description of the "new ride posistion" checks all the right boxes :O) Thank you for the video (even though I'm late to the party). Cheers from So.Calif, 3rd House On the Right.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

you know what's super funny....I let my dad use this tractor...took it over to his house and he hated the seat!! He made me give him back the original horrible seat and he put it back on....can't see anything, more dangerous and harder on your back...but he didn't like it lol

[@shawnhagen6871]

Lol, I thought damn that backrest is upside down!

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

Nice new seat... I need one that swivels for the backhoe, but this would be great for what you are doing in terms of bush-hogging and bouncing around in the field... Thanks for sharing !

[@johnnyjansen8904]

Great Video this Mr 👍

[@staffordfarms6974]

Check out rural king farm supply

[@leeellisfabs]

As a retired old geezer I get enjoyment out of your videos! You make us feel good about life and messing with our hobby stuff. Thank you and keep it up!!

[@alifarhat5523]

More like the total hours on that hours gauge is 800 hours. It must have been replaced wben the tractor was overhauled.

[@FarmallFanatic]

That's a bute! 👍

[@Archer_out]

I just put the exact same one on my Ford 2600. Just bought my first tractor 2 weeks ago. Super pumped to start cleaning up the land

[@anthonymacneil2279]

Great video, they are $206 now on Amazon inflation lol. I looked at one of these for my Husqvarna lawn tractor, but didn't like being up that high, so I purchased a whole suspension set up and new seat $600. Cheers from Nova Scotia

[@chadharmon5716]

Lord have mercy comes to mind lol

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

[@deanlawson6880]

Heh... What a turd... Heh.. Seriously though, I got that EXACT same seat a couple days ago from Tractor Supply for my old Kubota B21 loader tractor. Thanks for the good video showing assembly.. Heh.. Now I don't have to read the instructions after seeing the mistakes you made.. Thanks for the great videos Budd! Greetings from Kansas!

[@charlesbeall2589]

Great classy video Josh! Not even one F- bomb or any other "modern" language. Including Wife, ALWAYS a smart move! God bless.

[@trevorholland296]

Your right about that nothin ever goes right when you think everything will go right!

[@muhammedpervaizmuhammedper5920]

Good

[@samtalley791]

I put the same seat on a Ford NAA, I hated that tractor until I put it on. It made it a lot nicer tractor to use.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Seems to be a great addition to the tractor for sure!

[@bigsmiler5101]

When first watching this I was mumbling "Skip the trivia," but you have some good stuff. All my projects, no matter how simple, become a pain in the @$$. I'm happy your walked us thru the REALITY of this. Also: While cranking down some bolts you reminded us that tractors have a lot of vibration. I think your unstated point was "therefore make sure these are tight or these bolts will fall out."

[@travisricks3436]

Just bought a new bucket seat pan, cushions, and seat bracket for my 1998 Massey Ferguson 231 tractor. All Sparex parts. I wanted it original as possible. $255!

[@1911USA]

Get yourself a cordless impact driver with a couple 1/4 to !/2 and 1/4 to 3/8 socket adapters. You'll love it.

[@brwadabrown43]

I have a 1988 MF 240 which is very powerful and is easy on fuel. I mow 3 acres each week in the summer. Love the foot rest which is easy on the back when mowing for hours. I replaced my seat with the one like you have. I bought mine at tractor supply for around $100. Thanks.

[@stevetimm1738]

Looks like your going to buy another new seat for the other MASSEY.

[@bryson3401]

Like a broken drum you just cant beat it. Heck of a deal.

[@michaelmactavish1728]

thats what my kubota dealer and princess auto sells

[@sizabilibana726]

Hi I have a problem with front wheels terning one darrection what could be the problem it's MF 290

[@trekzilladmc]

I purchased the same one at my local Farm & Fleet for my Ford 4400. I love how it has the suspension feature, unlike the OEM one that mounted fast to the transmission housing (bounce, bounce, bounce). Giving me that little bit of extra height does really well.

[@RedGoatBlack]

Just got a MF 35 and this is my first upgrade thanks for the link

[@mikebenoit158]

You can weld a piece of metal to bolt that plate too some kind of bracket to mount it to

[@markmortensen4341]

Thanks for showing what NOT to do!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

My grandfather always said "A wise man learns from other's mistakes"

[@markmortensen4341]

Stoney Ridge Farmer --Haha yes there is a lot of truth to that! I've got many many years learning the hard way.

[@hughwatson1207]

When I installed a similar seat on my 240 massy I welded a 4 in channel on bottom of seat. Works great. Good tractor.

[@gofishingfishing]

Hello I'm unable to see the link on the particular make & model of the seat would you or someone be able to provide that. Thanks

[@NorthCountryOffgrid]

What do you use to de-grease your tractor under the seat area?

[@simonrowley4913]

Hi Josh I’ve been watching you on KZbin for a few months now over in the UK. I have subscribed now as watching you is so much fun and my daughters have also. We now great each other with a good old “Wooooo” it’s gets a chuckle every time. I have to say your Massey 240 looks a great little tractor. So it’s a hello from the UK.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks Simon!

[@simonrowley4913]

Stoney Ridge Farmer Hi Josh you have inspired me and my daughters to build a chicken coop which I’m doing right now. Me and my daughters watch you all the time now. Your farm is amazing and love everything you do. We have a small holding in the UK. wooooo. Thanks. Simon and my girls. Heather and Holly. 👍🏻😃

[@davidmcclellan2786]

It's now $198 plus $25 for shipping. No thanks

[@kevincameron8437]

Sharp looking tractor and way to stay with it on the install!!

[@chuckhixson5477]

I perfected driving a manual transmission on an old international tractor.. Good times.

[@trevorholland296]

Chuck Hixson it's pretty simple

[@diydanvapes]

Love it!! New video day!!

[@dudley103]

Thanks for the info. I just bought one from TS to put on my Kubota L295

[@BrianB14471]

Those are bolts, not nuts. You make the mistake at least twice.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

ah ....NUTS! Well dang Brian

[@darraghgilmore6723]

Thanks man, I was looking for the same thing for the ol 135

[@rickfletcher5053]

Reminds me of me, the simplest task turns into a major ordeal :)

[@catfishinwithcrow685]

Great video Josh I bought one of those off of EBay for like $80 looks real nice I haven’t put mine on yet but will soon and I think I’ll buy another for my little Satoh as well

[@electrohacker]

these were $90 at tractor supply, i got mine for $6 at a farm auction, only issue is it wont fit my tractor!!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yep. Sounds like a great deal. Won't fit lol

[@mrnewyork347]

Welders are an amazing tool!

[@lukebrink3683]

As always, good video!! FYI, the back of the seat is crooked. The left mounting bolts didn't slide all the way down in the mounting slots.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

My right sides much shorter than my left side I like to get my lean on

[@lukebrink3683]

Like a OG farmer with that gangsta lean. lol

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

Nothing is ever as easy as it looks.

[@hogman2524]

HEY Josh, I noticed in an earlier video that 240 had the exhaust ran UNDER the tractor RIGHT?? I think that is how it comes from the Factory, which I very much dislike did YOU buy the kit to move the exhaust pointing UP. My 250 had the upwards exhaust it is BETTER IMO!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

The 240 has had the exhaust running upward since I bought it...I prefer it up as well...my dad has an old massey 35 with exhaust out the bottom back...

[@ronaldlarimer]

Justabout every job I do goes the same as this one did for you. Put it together then take it apart and start again.

[@lancehenthorn17]

Ron Larimer practice makes perfect! Lol

[@jakub3851]

Can u pls tell me what’s your pickup?

[@bigsmiler5101]

I can't find this seat on your Store (tho I didn't check the Food section {there are some "misfiled" items in Influencer}) I fear you've changed your mind about recommending it after using it for a while.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

theres a link to it in the video description...looks like they may be out of stock at the moment

[@lancehenthorn17]

Josh thanks for the laugh. Spending 8hrs on JD 5065 or 5045 can be tough and it has a bouncy seat. At least the ones I've been using.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Stick to the vlog..I'll show ya the back saving miracle I found for my tractor seat!! Stops butt sweat and saves your back from being so stiff after a long day on the tractor seat! here is a link for ya: amzn.to/2GGcu9X When you look at it you wont think it's worth the money...but omg it sure is! I have one on my tractor and in my office chair...which I'm in about 5-8 hours per day!

[@singleman1986]

Don't beat yourself up too bad Josh. Modifying/upgrading ANY tractor = "Pain in the Butt". 'Stutter steps' are a 'given'. Especially with the 'universal' items. S-O-P.

[@2artactical55]

I custom mounted that exact same seat in my 1997 Max IV Amphibious 6x6 ATV and it made riding in it so much more comfortable! For the price it was a great cheap improvement!

[@adaptive_syrup745]

Nice video but the arm rests are upside down mate

[@WormHoleFarming]

Good Job. Check out my video on changing the oil seal in Jr. I said it was a 20 minute job; so I figured it take me about 3 hours. LOL. I installed on of those on my mower, it really takes the jarring and bouncing out. One thing though, you said you were a "big guy". Put a large washer under the mounting bolts on the base. The bolt heads are small and the washer helps disrepute the force on those bolt heads so they don't pull through.

[@wademanasco9245]

What are you gonna do with the $100 truck? I would.like to see you fix it up. With love and God blees Wade

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

More repairs to come this spring and summer...weather has been horrible here...shop flooded and things are just a mess

[@artgoat]

I have this same seat in yellow that I got from TSC. After one year, it is decomposing in the sun, turning into a sticky, gooey mess that ruins my clothes.

[@davedavies6518]

Loved your video. It seems like every time I try some simple bolt on job it turns into a big ordeal.

[@jbagri2305]

I think I have a slightly bigger back on my massey Ferguson 590 2WD and it’s very comfortable for the price.

[@brwadabrown43]

I have a MF 240 1988 and have mowed with it for 10 years. Love it. Easy on fuel and very powerful for it's size.

[@dannybrown8602]

I have owned a 1988 MF240 for 10 years and love the way it has foot rest up high to give you something to brace your feet on, taking stress off the lower back. I mow 3 acres every week in the summer. I replaced my seat with the same one and had the same issues when installing, so don't feel bad. Great tractor!

[@LilyandOllieTv]

Do not sell the other Massey Ferguson trust me keep it! it's a back of tractor and you're going to need it down the road!

[@twobaybugs5882]

You should get a Ford 3600

[@tomcogger5013]

I love the mf tractors. The 240 has the same tractor lay out with the gears and lights as the 245

[@barrysparks9430]

I’m going to be installing a new rotating seat on my ‘71 Allis 190xt. Being 58 years old and spending 8-14 hours in a day in that tractor makes me a sore old man. My experience as a welder and fabricator will come in handy. Strong back… weak mind

[@medge420]

I've got a Massey Ferguson 245. My grandfather had a 240 like you have. Did you restore the MF 240 yourself? My 245 is in very good shape mechanically but I want to paint it and do a few other things to restore it to it's former glory.

[@shadetreeprofessor5723]

Wow...watching videos of putting seats on...I never knew suspension and cushion was so important. I'm happy if I don't have to call my cousin to turn the key (on the Ford 3000). THAT SAID, my MF135 just has a thick metal seat that doesn't rust as fast as the Ford seat.

[@deanbarr5740]

Attach boy Josh. Happy wife Happy life. I've seen these seats at our local Tractor SuppyCo. Think I'll be getting one for my J.D. it's gotta help my poor ole back. Thanks buddy.

[@rraamuco]

I want to be like you ♥ ❤ thats all

[@generalrepair8731]

Josh I hear you On nothing ever goes right. I literally have to do everything twice sometimes three times. Gut twin....

[@sancoffsr]

Hate that seat resold it hard as a rock

[@eds1994fatboy]

Just wondering Josh......how is the fart retention for the seat.....how many will it hold before you have to take it off....jump on it to release them.......320 here...thumbs up

[@wykedinsanity]

welcome to the do it all three times world i invented, yes im a retired paint body guy, i didnt have issues at work, only at home oddly

[@shadetreeprofessor5723]

Wow! You have a shifter knob... I'm probably due for a bit of a restoration.... I don't have as many leaks as the last time when my tractor caught on fire from a batter/diesel fire, but I don't think it should be leaking as much as it does.

[@giantgeoff]

Got the same seat for my '68 Sears Suburban $80 from TSC, to replace a plastic camouflage one that was 35. on clearance from northern hydraulics, I guess the camouflage wasn't sufficient to sneak upon any wildlife.

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

Nice. Don't worry, been in too many predicaments like that, lol. And you maintained your cool, at least on camera. I know I would have had some choice words to say. Thanks for sharing. Really good idea, nothing worse than a sore arse and back.

[@hartstudebakerkid]

I have had that seat of my Agricat for a few years.....sure makes a difference on a crawler.

[@crazydad981]

that are nice seats but not for my back i need softer and more suspension seat like your sitting on a air ball

[@salmonhunter7414]

I put a that new seat on my MF245 . It cracked all over when it got below freezing. It was strong enough just the plastic cracked when it was cold..

[@shreddedchi6926]

Heh. Did I hear you bottom out on the first sit? Hey, Josh - what is that second flag you have under Old Glory? Is it a Gadsden? I couldn't quite make it out on the last video.

[@phronesismeister]

You seem like a really nice person, very down-to-earth. Thanks for posting

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks

[@dakotapouncey]

Anyway you could put a roll bar on it for safety?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yep....been on the lookout for a used one

[@jabo-ic7gf]

Recently installed mine but can't stop seat from sliding back & forth ( it won't lock in ) any suggestions?

[@robertmalis4493]

Josh for some reason I’m not getting your notifications i have the bell click

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Not sure buddy....youtube unsubscribed a bunch of folks somehow...try re-subscribing sorry buddy

[@Philm88]

Nice looking old tractor

[@obitony6180]

Hello stoney, I am really interested in this stuff. How can I speak with u? Thanks

[@bradw3313]

Good video….looks like all my project processes. I spent an hour trying to free up what I thought was a locked up shredder gear box yesterday…turned out it was sitting on a mound and all it needed was to be left alone.

[@blankenshipfamily01]

Looks comfy! Hope yawl doin well and Ya should do a vidja on the Blue Chevy.. Line it up next to the ole Ford. Em would b the "Mascots of ya channel lol

[@4wdsome444]

I picked up on brand new seat for $3 with shipping because the pu material had a small tear in the top its basically the bottom of your new seat with out the suspension

[@joehumble6698]

First time I am watching your video and liked it! Great info and natural ! Thank you

[@muleyscousin6258]

Hows the seat worked out after several months of use ? Have you learned to put a white towel over the seat if you have to get off of it for a few minutes on a hot sunny day ? Black's not the best color for a seat.

[@19D48D3]

Inquiring minds want to know, Josh. Did it take longer to figure it out on your own than it would have to read the instructions?!? Haha. That has happened to me more times than I care to admit.

[@enjoyingretirement4846]

So funny you kept saying "Pretty Simple". Then darn it lets try it again. Another good job.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yep sometimes the most simple task can get ya in the boo boo......nothing is ever simple that's for sure!

[@enjoyingretirement4846]

All my simple projects take longer that they were planned and always cost more because I need something from the store to finish them. All part of the fun.

[@mikebenoit158]

I got a great one for you a friend of mine just told me something funny If you work on a farm & work with children s you are a chicken tender

[@Jre-rb2ru]

This video helps me out because It’s time to replace the seat on my 1983 MF 250. I think this would work great for me.

[@kevinrogan9871]

Put the same type of seat on my fergie 135 28 years ago, the original one had rotted away. What a difference, change out the seat on your 135 as well

[@melanieharris256]

Hey

[@workingcountry1776]

Hmm... maybe I can put one on my zero turn mower that I use for work.
