104 seat
 

Does anyone have a source for a kit to recover a original 104 fiberglass seat ? Would really like to keep this one. Thanks for any info

I don't believe anyone makes a kit to reupholster that style seat. I had one done at Dons auto upholstery shop about 10yrs ago that turned out really nice. If I remember it was almost $100 to have it done. Too bad the fiberglass base of the seat split about 2yrs ago. :bigthink:

Thanks.if I cant find a kit I might just try to find some material and recover myself. What's the worst that can happen lol

When I finally build a 124 my plan is to replace the box under the seat with springs from a newer Cub and then use a regular seat. If you've never had a Cub with a solid mounted seat I can tell you it's a pain (literally) to use it for a long period of time. I had a 122 I restored and it would beat the crap out of me while mowing, I sold it and started using the 108 and it was much better.

:bigthink: I'm not sure what the 104 will become yet. Maybe a full resto. In that case I probably wont use it much for mowing or work. I like the way the seat looks on it but like you said, probably give ya hemorrhoids lol. Bit what do you think if a resto is done? Would you still change it?

I always liked the rubber seats on the cubs around that era. Not that it is a whole lot more comfortable, if any, but I like the looks of them and the durability. Still, if you are planning on using it for prolonged periods of time, then you will probably want one with a backrest on it.

There is a really nice one on ebay right now for only $275

Looks like a POS.

I saw that one... pretty pricey. I'd rather try redoing mine

I dont see the blue piping around that one either. Makes me think it was redone once

It is there, looky at the picy
