JD Seats

[shearerlad]

My JD 3220 telehandler seat failed today. It’s a Grammer mechanical base but can’t see a number on it.

I also have a MSG85 base that came out of the tractor (6330) but it doesn’t fit straight in to replace the fecked base in the handler.

Will both seat have common internal parts? Could strip down the tractor on to replace parts in the handler.

@Phil P will know.

Most likely if it failed suddenly it’s the spring holders that have worn through. Not something for swapping It’s a wearing part

common on a gramma, they like to punch a hole out the bottom of base Still a good comfy seat though.

It’s actually the threaded rod behind the winding handle for weight adjustment that’s broken. Changing the setting between Dad and myself too often!!
Air base was put in the tractor for easier changing between drivers

That would be great @ACEngineering

I’ve actually fitted a mechanical tractor seat (6520) in my 3200, the tele-handler seat has different hole spacings in the base as you probably already know.
Can’t just remember weather I just re drilled it or made an adaptor plate I’ll have a look tomorrow.
I know the tractor seat is way more comfortable than the original handler seat though but it is a tight fit!

umm really, is it a round knob quite long and a hole in the end of it? I got a brand new Manitou one if so

I cant find pics

 

[ACEngineering]

I think it was a Maximo comfort plus?

 

[shearerlad]

I’ll get a photo tomorrow in proper light.

Figured it out now

it was a 12v basic Air grammer

Did you have to alter the mounting holes @acorn

If it’s the winder in the bottom pic it’s AL117264 £126.02! grammer parts are stupid prices!​

that's looking very similar to the new one I just lobbed in the skip £126.02 I had better climb in and fish it out!

The Grammer seat went on our Manitou, as said above it tore a hole in the bottom plate. I went on line and found a Grammer dealer and bought the bottom business end and attached the seat ie the cushion and the back to it. ‘Twas easy, was less than 180 quid. Was just like a new seat again.

I dont bother selling the base types that punch a hole in bottom plate as they do it far to often.

What’s the best way of raising the base of a grammer seat? Have one in a jd 5820 it’s a killer on the knees if you spend a day on it

Should just be able to lift up at the base and it’s on a ratchet mechanism. If you lift to high it will drop to the bottom and you have to start again.

Just looked in mine I made adapter plates and put the better seat in.
