Might look at e-bay or Northern Hydraulics for a seat.
317 in the home stretch
Finally getting close to finishing the 317. I'm waiting on the rebuild kit for the carb so I got the rest of the sheetmetal ready for paint. Finished sandblasting this morning and now everything is in it's first coat of primer.

I'm hoping to have the color on everything by the end of the weekend. The rebuild kit should be here Monday and then all that's left is the decals and seat.
The decal kit is pretty pricey so I think I'm going to just make my own. I can make the hood decals no problem, but the others I may have to send out to be printed. As far as the seat goes, the one that came with the tractor isn't in horrible shape but it is cracked. I may just use it for this year and see if I like it or if I want to go to a different style. I know there are alot of options out there, has anyone purchased a seat they really like? I'd like to buy a new seat but I really don't want to break the bank either.

There's still more to do under the hood but she's just about there.

Looks good. :fing32:
If your seat steel pan is still in good condition, get the recover kit, they are far cheaper than replacing the entire seat. It has a better shape with more padding than the original and I find it quite comfortable.

I may just do that. Where do you get the recover kit? Right from Deere?
