How Do You Reupholster A Tractor Seat?
Tractors are often left outside and suffer damage from harsh weather conditions. A tractor seat is commonly a steel frame wrapped in a thick layer of foam and finished with vinyl covering. If the surface vinyl layer tears or rips, the foam is exposed and can retain water, damaging and rusting the steel frame. Learning how to reupholster your tractor seat before the damage gets to its steel core will save you time and money. Detach the seat from the tractor, using a screwdriver to remove the screw from below the seat. Tear the vinyl cover and the foam insides from the steel frame of the seat. Save the plastic/rubber edge of the seat for later. Remove all the pieces from the steel frame. It may be hard to get everything since the foam was glued on, but it’s necessary to make the new foam bond properly with the frame. Remove rust and dirt from the steel frame of the seat, using a drill with a wire wheel. Clean the frame thoroughly, using a damp cloth. Cut the foam in the shape of the seat
