His thread should be easy to find on that site. I opted to have Darrell cover mine. Mine was already painted a couple years ago, so he shipped it back to me to "touch-up" with my own paint. I was absolutely thrilled with how it turned out. Extremely tight and durable, very well done and worth every penny of it. [Reply]  [No Email]

They are only about $25 more than Darrell recovering yours and then I wouldn't have to fix the worn out holes and rails. [Reply]  [No Email]

BTW YOU (the OP) would have all the details if you were a member of the International Harvestors Collectors Association. :wink: He is one of the main men at the magazine and he always has an ad in there.

He uses the original heavy cotton canvas and has the same tooling to roll the lip over as was used on the IHC seats of the pan seat era. He has done all of mine for my letter series tractors and I couldn"t be more pleased and certainly looks much better then the repro"s with the slick vinyl. Send him you seat if useable and that is the seat you will get back. I believe you will be pleased as well, Hal. [Reply]  [No Email]
