Grammer MSG95AL 741 seat swivel

[oakleaf]

The above seat has got the swivel function but it only goes 10 degrees left or right.
My other tractor also has the same number seat but it swivels 20 degrees.
Does anyone know if I can change the MF seat to 20 degree?
At first glance it doesn't appear so but without removing it, it's hard to know for sure.

Ruts rock hard and are worst ever on the back this year.

 

[oakleaf]

Yes, but it’s the twisting around that gets me

I think it's only slots cut into 1 of the pieces, maybe be worth stripping them both and matching them,maybe even cut another slot and get more than 20°

The grammar seat swivel is able to move 360 degrees but is limited by "stops" that mesh into the teeth.
So you can adjust these stops but from memory....it is a fiddly job.
AC.

There are different swivels, normally only a 20 degree one, both left and right.
I once did some work to one so it would swivel more to the right and less to the left but it wasn't very straightforward.
The ones that swivel more then 20 degrees are different.

what range we on

on 64 range i altered arm rest so it was higher and seat swivelled a bit , and you get your leg round edge of seat so sit on the pee so not to twist round

Both seats are the same model number as in the thread title.
Neither are the original seat.
I was hoping the one that only goes 10 degrees would just have removable stops but on initial inspection this doesn’t seem to be the case.
I will just put up with it for now and maybe remove the entire seat in winter to dismantle it and see what if anything can be changed.
The one with 20* swivel came from an independent parts place and the 10* swivel came from the local MF dealer.
There was a few years between the purchases.
I have noticed since that most MF’s only seem to have the 10*

There must be something that can be done JD seats used to swivel left as well but not now they've obviously stopped it since putting bigger screens on the armrest to stop them connecting with the steering wheel. Mine will be getting stripped and altered when I get chance

 

[oakleaf]

Yeah, it’s the downside to all these fancypants armrest controls and a retrograde step having no LH swivel. Not much good for hedgecutting or ploughing.
My tractors are old though and just have standard armrests so I am optimistic that the newer seat can be converted.
Just won’t be the quick simple fix I’d hoped.

I added a spurious 180 degree swivel on a tractor but wouldn't recommend it. Fine for stationairy work but not for driving as it turns far to easy (it has a bearing). Good for me though as I use it for the woodchipper with crane.

Yeah you can fit a 360 deg swivel but only locks at 0 and 180 deg

 

[Fendtbro]

Werner Wario or Pfanzelt tractor is what you want!! On a more serious note, If I can't rotate the seat hard to the left then i'm done for looking backwards (slight quad accident) I have my main tractor permanently with the whole console 20 odd degrees to the left, wheel, pedals the lot then the seat turned too looking at the hedge cutter.. When the first mainstream manufacturers start to fit rotating cabs and consoles, they will be demanded by almost every serious operator i'm sure.

The 360 deg swivel would allow you to push the seat fully left against the side console but wouldnt lock there
