Driver Seat

I am looking for a more comfortable seat as the pan type.
Does anybody have a newer version installed which can be recommended?
The Major with Hydraulics is kind of tricky as the space is limited aft and it is already on the high side.
Thanks

Best regards from Austria

Hi Dietmar

Werde am Wochenende ein paar Fotos von meinen Sitz machen.
Wenn du mir deine email-adresse gibst,sende ich sie dir gerne zu.
Habe einen etwas älteren Grammer-Sitz (schön aus Blech/ohne
Plastik,aber voll einstellbare Fegerung)auf meinen Super Major.
Ich hoffe damit helfen zu können.

Hi Jan,

Sehr interessant. Ich habe auch ein Major und mit meiner Rückseite auch leiden. Möglicherweise konnten Sie die Abbildungen auf diesem Aufstellungsort für uns alle bekanntgeben, um zu sehen. Es kann meine Antwort auch sein.

Viel Dank
Mike

so the rest can follow...

Very interesting. I too have a Major and also suffer with my back.
Maybe you could post the pictures on this site for us all to see. It may be my answer also.

the cushion was removed for pics

it`s a verx good seat when you have trouble with your
back,the suspension is adjustebl
but remeber,it`s not original
was made by Grammer,a german company,in the mid
seventies,i think

Thank you for the great pictures.

The issue I have in front of me looks different.

Frans version looks like it has no Hydraulics, which makes mounting easier as it fits lower on a flat surface.

Jan, yours is a Super Major which has a different Hydraulics as well.

The mounting points on the pre Super are lower in front of the arm housing - this makes it complicated. The hydraulic arm housing sticks up and limits any construction to be moved back to it.

If I mount a regular seat on this provisions it is to far forward.

It looks that the only way to mount it right is using the original pan.
Maybe someone has an additional idea.

Best regards


Dietmar
