I took the dog for a walk through the woods at my cabin this weekend and found this in the woods. My guess is its a tractor seat but have not idea from what era or such.

Not sure, but, I would say it's from some type of horse drawn epuipment.

That stump in the middle is probably the reason it was discarded! Ouch!

Haha! Can't imagine a carriage bolt up your #2 door would be very fun!

EMPIRE REAPER & MOWER WORKS

"Mr. Seiberling was an inventive genius. The "Empire" Mower and Reaper with dropper attachment, was invented by him in 1858 and first manufactured at Doylestown in 1861, under the name of "Excelsior." In 1864 he began their manufacture in Massillon, but in 1865 brought the industry to Akron."

Here you go.

Might be the same seat if they could get the guy off it. 1870's on this one. NY manufactured, different than the Akron one, but you get the idea.

Here's a better seat I found on the web

Just look how dangerous that thing actually was. Imagine hitting a bump, getting jolted forward, and losing your feet!
