I have been thinning the heard lately and have scrapped a few murrays that have seen better days. Missing a lot of metal from the front of the deck, just wore out. I am down to two now, an 18hp square nose, and an 18/42 just like the one in the duals thread, (I got the hitch but no duals). Anyway I was saving a few good parts and I noticed that every Murray I had still sports a non-cracked useabe seat. These tractors have lived outside too some of the worst weren't even covered. Anyone know who made their seats and if they are still in business?

I kind of assume they were made by Michigan seat, but I am not sure. You are right though, you would be hard pressed to find a cracked/ripped etc Murray seat.

Totally agree - just not many of the later years ever cracked but the early to late 80's did have cracking issues.
