Steel Seat Pan for Fordson Major Series Tractors

Description

Nothing ruins a long day in the field like sitting on a seat that’s seen better days. After decades of bouncing across farmland, most Fordson Major seats have rust holes, cracks, or are just plain uncomfortable from years of compression. This replacement steel pan gives you the solid foundation you need to get back to comfortable operation during plowing, cultivation, or whatever job your reliable workhorse needs to tackle.

What You’re Getting

• Heavy-gauge steel construction that matches original specifications and will outlast the original
• Pre-drilled mounting holes line up perfectly with your existing seat base for easy installation
• Formed pan provides proper support without pressure points that make long days miserable
• Primer coating gives you a clean base for whatever paint color your restoration calls for
• Direct replacement that bolts right on without modifications or fabrication work

Built for Real Farm Work

These 45-50 HP tractors from the 1950s and 60s are still common on smaller farms, handling everything from hay work to cultivation. Whether you’re running a loader, working ground, or moving equipment around the property, you’re spending real hours in that seat. The original seats were pretty basic even when new – just pressed steel with minimal padding that’s now probably rusted through or cracked beyond salvage.

Made to Last

This seat pan uses modern steel that’s actually stronger than what rolled off the Fordson production line. The pressing process creates the right contours for support without creating hot spots that dig into your back. Unlike those old seats that developed stress cracks over the years, this one’s built to handle the constant vibration and movement of daily farm work.

Installation Notes

Installation typically takes about 30 minutes with basic hand tools. While you’ve got the old seat off, check your seat spring and shock absorber if equipped – no point mounting a new pan on worn suspension components. Consider adding a quality tractor seat cushion for extra comfort during those long days.
