    MAX IV Front seat modification

    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.

    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.
    What it lacks in ground clearance it makes up for with traction.
