In this video, we cut out the seat base of a craftsman and weld it to the bottom of a Murray riding mower seat the Murray is a better quality rubber seat and will handle the elements pretty much for ever without degrading. The Murray seats are awesome in that aspect. This is something Iv been wanting to try. I have to admit, I did not come up with this idea. Vince did, but it was a great idea and well worth the time. Seat looks Factory and is way better than the old craftsman seat. Wish I had more Murray seats to do this with.
