Zero-Turn Riding Mower Fitted With Air Ride Seat
 ✖  |
I’m 88 years young and have back problems, but I still love to mow our 7-acre lawn. I replaced the seat on my Hustler FasTrak zero-turn riding mower with an air ride seat made for an IH tractor. It really rides nice - I can drive with the throttle wide open but still feel like I’m just floating along. Helps take the bumps right out. I love it.
The air ride seat attaches with 4 bolts using existing holes in the mounting platform. I had to grind out the holes a bit to make the bolts fit. I wired the seat to the mower battery to power the seat’s air pump. A lever on front of the seat is used to raise it up or down. The lower the seat, the softer the ride.
I bought the seat at Northern Tool for about $990. But I figure that at my age, if you’re going to spend $8,000 on a new mower you might as well spend a little more and get a really nice seat, too. (Alvin Schmidt, 108 8th Ave. N., Saint James, Minn. 56081)
