Hi.
I read with great interest the article in the latest journal showing a modified Major with a double seat.
Has anyone else made a similar modification and can offer any advice, drawings etc.
We use our Major primarily for boat launching and a passenger from the yard to the beach would be very useful.
However ever cautious, I am concerned over the legality of an extra passenger and also the Health and Safety implications. The journey we take is about a mile on public roads.
There was a tractor in Anglesey with a "motorcycle " type seat possibly off a rib which worked but I liked the side by side " DB cropmaster style" solution in the magazine.
My father tells me he took his driving test on a Fergie in the early 50's with the examiner stood in the transport box, happy days !!!
Passenger Seats
Re: Passenger Seats
Over here in Germany this
used to be the common practice for passenger Transport.
Usually one passenger seat was manifested in the papers.
I can remember, when I was a child, we used to have a Dexta having a woden board behind the drivers seat, from one fender to the other.
There was enough room für two adults or one adult plus two childeren in adition to the Driver.

Over here in Holland, it does not mather how save these seats are, when you have an exident the insurance wil make a lot of problems.
No problem with the McCormick next to it, because these seats are factory made.
