Caterpillar OEM seat cushions was created by steeltracs

What year did Caterpillar make the change over from spring seats to full foam seat cushions?

Didn't they just go from the spring type cushion/backrests and straight to the Bostrom Viking T Bar style on most models? Mid 70's like Rome said? Or were there some that still used a bench style seat? A member here has several NOS Caterpillar seat cushions with the springs that he had purchased at a liquidation sale. I bet those "Real Deal" items are worth some change for someone wanting an original seat.JM

If the member with the seats has any for a D8 13A with the larger gas tank and so only a single seat, I would be interested in a price for the seat and seat back. Thanks. Michael

Michael: He eluded to me that they were D4 top seat and orchard style cushions; nothing else that he was aware of. Let all of us know how your D8 is coming along. JM

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
