MAX IV Front seat modification

[bobpur]

I saw a youtube video where someone removed the front seat in a MAX IV and installed some framework to mount a tractor seat. The seat he used had suspension of its own built in.
Can anybody point me to a video to show how this is done? Would the winch mount plate in the tub be used as a front anchor point?
This front seat mod appeals to me as I've had three back surgeries. Just trying to improve the ride somewhat.
Thanks.

Just one of my videos with the MaxIV modification, it is very easy to do

At last, someone posted a video with some sensible music! I've been listening to Loreena McKennitt for a few years now. My MAX IV is similar to yours. It has the 27 hp Kawasaki and 26X12X12 tires. I don't care if mine ever sees water but I'd like an easier ride on the trails.

Suspension seat

For some reason it won?t let me upload a photo of mine. All I did was take a piece of 3/16 plate and bend it on each end and bolt it to the frame rails flush with the top of the rails. Makes a nice flat surface to bolt the seat.
