So my dad turned the big 60 last monday and us kids (4 of us) wanted to get him something special. Dad has always said that he wanted a better seat for his 125 for about 10 years that I can remember, so that's what we did.





He wanted an exact replacement so that's what we got him-bolted right on. This is the old one, and it's always been kept inside.




I asked him what ever happened to the white fiberglass one- he told me that 35 or so years ago when he bought the 125 it was a heap of sorts because someone rolled it in a ditch- the steering wheel is still bent- so he had to replace parts on it, most notably the dash with the 105 decals.

Dad has worked at an IH dealership for about the same amount of time and he told me that people used to bring in their cub cadets for service.
"Does it need new belts?"
"Yup"
"Go ahead and replace them. How about mower blades? If they look worn replace them too."

Dad says "I mowed for free for 25 years. Someone would bring something in and say they wanted new belts/blades etc and if they weren't shot I'd bring them home and use them till they were junk." Ergo why he has a seat from a Q/L on it.

That's my dad.



I mowed with it on saturday and the new seat doesn't pinch the gentleman's area like the old one did. I had forgotten how worn out the steering is on it as well, like it takes a 10' circle to turn.
