Another of the items of things to do on my bucket list of repairs on the 941 was improving the improvised seat system instituted by one of the previous owners. It looks like a John Deer mower seat that was put on at some point & it was welded to a 3/16" plate which weighed a ton to remove every time I needed to get to the bevel gear compartment, to check oil or change filters/screens etc. Anyhow I came up with some sizes & after some trial & error fitting came up with this solution which looks much more like Cat! 16 Ga bent brackets that hold the armrests in place have some nuts welded to the inside of the gauge material & then counter sunk bolts that come through the U-frame attach to the armrests. There was nothing left on the machine for a backrest support so I just welded a piece of plate to the U-Frame that the armrests bolt onto. Had a local upholstery shop do the fabric work for me. I am looking forward to a few hours of seat time now!
