I got mine on ebay
dpendzic: I have been searching on ebay but can't come up with what I need. Probably using the wrong search words for the arm rests. Could you give a contact name or number from the site you got your parts from? Thank you.
Check with Hahn Seats?
I talked with the guy at the local upholstery shop and he suggested I cut the back from a sheet of 3/4" marine plywood and bring to the shop and he will put some 3 inch foam down and cover with the black material he used on the seat. There is a couple good pictures in the parts book I have for the pattern. He didn't quote a price but thought around $70 for the pair. Sounds like the way to go for now. I will need the anchors that go into the wood for the cap screws to thread into. That shouldn't be a problem to find them.
contact finney equipment to see if they have any 7U seats made

the plywood connectors are available in homedepot
One minor upgrade on my 5U is to have the side cushions wrap over top of the seat pan, as well as being down the side to take hip contact and act as an arm rest. If yours don't already come like that, it's a great upgrade that doesn't really detract from the tractor's appearance

Do you have a part number for the wrap around arm cushion? I think Finney will need that to know the ones were talking about. Finney has an eBay listing for the wrap around type your talking about that my fit. They list the Cat part numbers.

Gary & Dawn Jeffus have been working with John for quite some time and have taken over production of the Hahn seats. Last June I got a complete seat set for my Cat 22 and will vouch that they are just as top quality and original as they always have been when John made them himself. You will not be disappointed.
