Hello everyone. I have a 127, and the original seat. I need to recover it and found this place for the covers.

does anyone know what one it would be?

2nd Paint colors. My serial number is 312xxx which calls for 902 white. I have a set of wheels that are very nicely redone with 935 and need to paint my fronts and some misc parts and have some 935 in a spray can. Does anyone have any pics of thise 2 colors side by side or can someone give me an opinion of how much different they are.

I put this cover #460801 on my 128 and my 1250. I have a picture of it:

How hard were they to install?

Matt g,
Ya beat me too it.
I just picked up a quart of 935 to finish the white on my 1211
Now JaysNJcub127 who painted them????????

They were actually quite easy. These were there very first seats I have ever recovered. Keep your trim that holds the vinyl onto the seat and reuse that. I layed the cover on the seat, turned the seat upside down and started pulling the excess vinyl up and over the front part of the seat, using a rubber mallet to help push the trim onto the seat edge and worked my way around, just pull and stretch and apply the trim. Once finished, if everything looks fine, use a razor and trim off the excess overlap.

ummm
 

some guy up in the sticks in North NJ, he is a super nice guy, but lives too damn far away !!!!

BTW everyone, I bought them from Darkminion and he did a sweet job !!!! I just want to see the 935 next to the 902

sweet
 

that looks like the same saet as mine, I will have to order one !!!

I am curious, was there that much of a difference in white between the 128 series and the 1250 series, or has someone used a different white on the 1250?

Thanks for the info, That sounds like a project i can handle :biggrin2.gif:

That 1250 looks way too pale to me, especially the wheels. It looks to me like it has been repainted.

That helps confirm some suspicions about the paint. It's very white compared to the 128 white which I know hasn't been touched.

Seat
 

Just ordered the seat cover and since you have to order at least 15 worth of stuff to be shipped I got some dental pics too. Hopefully it willgo on smooth. Going to remove the seat and fender today. Paint the seat and I saw some "mouse like nests" up by the trunion. This will also give me a chance to clean up all the grease on the rear and lube everything up good and adjust the brakes. Still need to figure out why when I step on the brake in the foward position it won't go back to neutral. Does from reverse no problem but have to fight it going from foward

I have to say, on any hydro I have ever owned I never used the brake pedal unless it was to set the brake on a trailer or ramps. I just use the hydro lever for my stop and go work. Currently on my 1250, even after my adjustments, if I have the lever way up in the forward position, it will not come all the way back to neutral position, it is a couple inches up from that, but it doesn't bother me, because as I said, I just move the lever to make me stop and then go in reverse or forward.

Brakes
 

I hear what your saying. But I figure while I have the pan off lets see if I can make it right. I did see the trunion has some ware but I have no creep and seems to stay at what ever speed I set it at. I guess when the fender is off I can get a better idea. As much as I would like a full nut and bolt resto I am not ready for that. This is in pretty good shape and I only have this one so some cleaning up and fix all the little mechanical things is my priority. I want to get the steering all tightened up and make sure the hydro is all working the correct way. I do plan to plow with it during snowy season so want it mechanically sound at this point. It is kinda hard for me since this is my first cub but I printed out the service manual last night so that should help.
