P1000 Rear Bench Seat

[GPR1500SC]

I thought I would post a couple of picture of my new bench seat that I made, are children love it as it give them more cushion then the factory pads and they sit up higher and can see out better.

Went on Ebay and bought high density upholstery foam High Density [HASHTAG]#FoamTouch[/HASHTAG] Upholstery Foam size 6" X 24" X (41-49)" Custom Cut | eBay six inches thick for the bottom and two inch thick for the back, got the upholstery fabric from are local fabric store.
After a lot of measuring marking started cutting on the foam until it fit, on the center cut I used a skill saw with a regular wood blade in set to depth it cut nicely when there was plenty of foam on each side to support it when I cut the edges to depth on a angle it tried to take a bite I used a sharp hunting knife and a razor blade to cut on it, also a used a angle grinder with a sand paper flap wheel to trim on it but you had to be careful not let it grab it.
After that laid the foam on the back of the fabric marking it out with thee quarter inch extra to sew together them my wife set me up on her simplest sewing machine (She has almost as much money spent in her sewing closet as the Pioneer) and watch me frustrate my self she didn't help me sew anything but did rescue me a couple times when her machine quit sewing and sweetly reminded that I had previously said resetting a feed line that timed out was as easy as changing a bobbin. LOL

The bottom pad is fitted and just sets in there with out moving around, the back I put Velcro on the top corners I don't no if that is going to last though I may had to think of something better.

So the bottom of it is just a pad and not hard material like wood or plastic?

I'm sure you already are man. But....if we had some 1/2" square tubing for the frame, I bet we could make some.

I may add it to my list. Rear bumper first.

Seat belts still work?

Yes the bottom is just a foam pad.

There is no rear roll cage, or seat belts this is primarily a farm use machine that being said by adding a notch in the rear of the cushion your seat belts should work fine.
