Default Where to buy seat for ride-on lawnmower


I've got an old lawnmower similar to this one...
http://www.westwoodtractors.com/SSeries/S1300_36.htm
....it'd look a lot better with a new seat since the old one is ripped
and showing the foam. Any ideas where I can purchase - I'm assuming
there may be somewhere cheaper than westwood themselves?

Assuming the base is sound, have you thought about having it repaired?

Motorcycle seats are often remodelled, refoamed and recovered.

Up to last year we ran Westwoods for over 15 years. The easy repair to
the seat is a roll of black sticky plastic tape farmers use for silage
bales I believe (Available from any good agricultural supplier)

Not the prettiest, but lasts for years

Do you just wrap it around the entire seat? That would be pretty ugly.
Or is it like gaffer tape (elephant tape) and you just tape up as
necessary?


There is a range of seats advertised in the Northern Tool catalogue. You
may find them on their web site www.NorthernToolUK.com
