I did the Wildfire air ride seat conversion to my 3940 and have the original seat and suspension for sale. PM me for pics, but like I said, it's new. 500$
Thanks for looking, Ed

$500 for a stock seat? What is that thing made of?

I like that it is now known as the "Wildfire Conversion"

All OEM stuff is pretty expensive, the GL seat has arm rests, reclining back and swivels left and right a bit to make looking back a little easier. I am considering an OEM air ride seat when a bolt in becomes available and before taking less than about $500, I would just keep it; maybe mount it on one of our older tractors.

You won't buy that seat & suspension up here in Canada from Kubota less than $2000. Honest. I sold mine for $500. on first phone call. OEM parts are VERY EXPENSIVE.
Hope your seat install went well and thanks for the credit. :)

I believe you guys- I'm just in sticker shock. I had no idea that they would cost that much.

I would try to post pics, but mine looks exactly like yours!!!!!! Where you used a sheer, I used a plasma cutter to get my triangles cut. Definately helped owning a welding supply store. I absolutely love it. Thanks again Paul. To all that look at Pauls pics, it was worth every penny. Later, Ed

WOW Paul, what a shop. A man after my own heart. Top flight equipment. I do sell miller and lincoln both, but miller is 95 percent of my machine sales. I love your custom built trailer for your Trailblazer. I wish you were in the states so I could help you out easier. Thanks for the pics, Ed

Thanks Ed. Like I said, Miller gear has never let me down. Although the shop is supposed to be an automotive repair facility I ended up doing everything else as well. I do know that if you took my Miller gear out of the shop I'd go home.
;) Glad you like the trailer. Took me a month of working on the weekends and nights to build it but its been great for business. There's always someone stopping taking photos of it which is cool.

Paul, I can't tell you how happy I am with my seat and your install!!!! I'm not sure I would have attempted this without your pictures and knowledge. I've always told my wife just get me a picture. LOL. Later, Ed

Man I'm glad your enjoying the new seat mod. Had mine out snow clearing last week and didn't want to get out of the cab by the time I had it all done.
I waited to reply so you could get your ad bumped up again. If you haven't sold your seat you should try tractorbynet.com
Good guys over there as well and more will see it. I got lucky with my Kubota seat. At the time I was doing my seat mod I had a company send down an old Zetor tractor to be repaired. After I got it repaired they asked me if I could make some improvements to the cab. One of the things it needed really bad was a seat :D
