Default 915a1 Air ride seat

I had to throw my brother a bone. He has been hauling all of the grain this year and the 915a1 was starting to beat him up.
He picked up an air ride seat at the junk yard and I installed it.
It was mostly straight forward. I tapped the air line that goes to the air horn with a t and a shut off valve. I ran the air line under the sill plate and brought it out right behind the seat. I had to cut the stock seat box down to 2" tall and drill new holes for the air seat. The holes were the same front to back but the base on the new seat was skinnier. The whole project took ant 2 1/2 hours.
I knew everything would be cool when I saw the model number on the seat. The back pain complaints have dropped back to nothing. For under $200, that is a small price to pay.

Nicely done!
It looks like it belongs there.

And ditto, I would like that setup in my m818 as well.
