A much needed seat replacement on my 9 year old workplace Gator turned into a full fledged detail project. Sorry, no "before" pictures, but the old seats reflect the overall condition.
- I started with a thorough wash with Simple Green Pro HD (plastic/rubber/metal-safe aviation version).
- I hand polished all the green surfaces with Mequires Ultimate Compound to remove surface scum and very minor scratches. Deep scratches would require much more work.
- I applied Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic spray wax to all green surfaces.
- Floor mat, bed liner, fenders, and tires received diluted Armour All. Dash and seats received 303 Protectant.
The OEM seats are U.S. made by MILSCO and cost about $170 each with the J.D. logo. You can buy the same MILSCO seat sans logo for about $107 each (or less) online. I chose the high back version vs. the original low back. https://www.tractorseats.com/p-929-john-deere-gatormower-uni-pro-bucket-seat.aspx
Rear tires replaced one year ago due to huge puncture wound. Won't stay clean for more than a day or two!
