My lawn mower seat had seen better days, time for a full restoration.
Complete process from removing the seat to rust proofing the pan and then recovering it with new vinyl backed with thin foam.

True craftsman. Very impressive Sir.

@stevevansyckel9924 2 месяца назад

That was very enjoyable. I love watch a craftsman do good work. You doubledthe value of that mower. If it was mine I'd do whatever it took to keep it running. Great job

On a whim I decided to search fixing my riding mower seat. What I got was an extremely detailed video on how to upholster one. People like you are why I have to many hobbies. :) Great information, Thankyou for sharing your process.

@Surroundedbyevil368 3 месяца назад

Well now there's way more to that than I had any idea no wonder it costs so much to have a seat recovered .

@stitchingsteve 3 месяца назад

There sure is!! and thanks for watching. Many don't realise actually how much goes into upholstery. There are still those that think everything is a 10 minute job, it's just a bit of sewing right?

@MrWoodsli Год назад

That was a great video! Thanks! I just hammered out and welded up a new seat for my lawn mower with some steel from an old barrel. It's kind of rough looking but was surprisingly comfortable. I now need to put vinyl over the foam. What type of glue/adhesive do you use? Would it stick to painted steel? I already painted my seat pan.

@stitchingsteve Год назад

Thanks for watching the video. I use a sprayable contact adhesive but you can brush it on if that's easier. If the paint is dry then should stick fine. Best of luck with the covering

@MrWoodsli Год назад

@@stitchingsteve Thanks, i just ordered some.

@janetc9502 2 месяца назад

What was the white stuff he paint on the seat

@stitchingsteve 2 месяца назад

Rust converter, goes on white/creamy colour then dries to a hard black finish

@Johnny53kgb-nsa 10 месяцев назад

The best lawn mower seat I've seen. Curious, roughly, how much would this cost to have done? Thank you, John

@stitchingsteve 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, I tried :D not sure what it would cost respectively to where you are, but without the silly logo you should allow a couple hours + vinyl

@charritolopez8223 7 месяцев назад

@@stitchingsteveoh there is nothing silly about that logo, it's very genuine keep up the good work 🙏.

@joea2875 Год назад

Very cool video , excellent work ! . The metal clip that holds on the rubber trim on mine is long gone any idea where it can be bought , id like to attempt a redo of my old seat ?

@stitchingsteve Год назад

I've hunted around and cant find anything. If you can get new rubber, gluing or RTV silicone could work?

@JustAboutAnything66 Год назад

Google, rubberized edge trim for metal.

@MrSeverno33 8 месяцев назад

Great video. What did you paint on the metal? That did a great job on the rust.

@stitchingsteve 8 месяцев назад

Is a crc branded rust converter

@user-qc6uh7dr1h 4 месяца назад

I would love to buy one of your covers the one you're making right now how can you get one

@janegilson1886 Год назад

In the final step, when you went around and attached the long clip strip -- where do you purchase that? And also, is that marine vinyl you used?

@stitchingsteve Год назад

It's called edge trim or door edge-trim and sometimes windlace (even though it isn't) depending on who labels and sells it. Not sure which country you're in but you should be to find some online. There are three sizes S,M and L. I used the large on this. The vinyl is an automotive grade

@janegilson1886 Год назад

@@stitchingsteve Thanks much, Steve. I'm in the USA. I'm getting ready to start working on a John Deere tractor seat repair - so this video was perfect timing for me. Thanks. Great job on your seat. A+++

@stitchingsteve Год назад

@@janegilson1886 Try searching for pinchweld trim too. It has so many names for one product. Modern JD's are vinyl welded so you might be lucky and have an older model. Best of luck with the repairs

@@janegilson1886 wow, that's amazing. This ride on mower is from 1994 and isn't the greatest, but gets the job done

@jbgula 7 месяцев назад

What was the little fabric at the end of the stitching? Where do you buy that stuff around the edge of the seat?

@stitchingsteve 7 месяцев назад

Hey, thanks for watching!! That little bit of fabric is scrap offcuts that I use to sew on to, to stop and start each sew line. It saves holding the thread or wasting more than you need to. Lots of comments about this... Might have to make it's own video 🤔. The stuff around the edge is either called Edge trim, door trim or push on windlace. Try your local Upholster/Motor Trimmer

Yeah oh ok sure now I need to get the materials a contact cement sprayer an air compressor a sowing machine....come on man seriously that what you just did costs more than buying a new seat

@stitchingsteve 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! You could buy a new seat, if you can find one for a 30yr old mower. You could also set yourself up for doing jobs like this... or take it to someone who has all the gear and materials already? Plus this was for my own mower so my time and materials wasn't an issue
