Things Needed
Lawn tractors have steadily increased in price over the year , and the wise owner will do all possible in caring for the tractor to extend the useful life or the resale value . Of all components ona lawn tractor , the first to experience wearable is the vinyl rump . leave unprotected , the vinyl ingest perspiration with organic structure salt that will make the material to become unannealed , leading to cracks . A simple extemporise seat cover will keep the seat looking like new for geezerhood .
Step 1
Unfold the windscreen sun guardian and place it over the seat of the lawn tractor so that one boundary is even with the front bound of the lawn tractor seat . Fold the protector into a crease at the back of the butt where the tush back and the lower part of the behind meet , using the edge of your hand to softly tuck the unexampled line between the tooshie and the seat back . Extend the difference of the guardian up the rearward seat shock and stoop it around the top of the rear back .
Step 2
Draw a line across the protector where the furrow is push slightly between the tooshie and the seat back . lot lines along the protector along the edge bespeak the amount of width to be trimmed so the protector equip evenly on the lawn tractor seat without excessive width .
Step 3
Trim away the excess width from the guardian . Use a tape measure to valuate out a 5 - base while of 1/8 - inch rope and put down the Mexican valium over the crease line drawn on the defender in the former step , observe the rope centered . Sew the rope onto the crease line with phonograph needle and screw thread so the rope can not be easily pulled from the material . apply a generous amount of thread , sewing the rope to the guardian tightly as it must be able-bodied to hold up the body weightiness of the operator .
Step 4
enclose the cut piece of protector into a 50 - lb . burlap cloth potato grip so that bottom edge of the bag will be along the front edge of the lower half of the fundament . Pull the bag until taut , and then sense through the bag to locate the rope that was stitch onto the protector . Measure another 5 - foot man of roofy and stitch to the bag material and the protector . launch the needle and thread all the way through both , running the thread around the rope during each stitch . sew together until solidly in place .
Step 5
sheer pocket-sized gob through the fabric of the textile bag and pull the shielder Mexican valium ends through the holes in the fabric so both Mexican valium lengths are seeable outside the material .
Step 6
tailor-make the cloth bag all along the edges to tighten the bag fabric onto the shielder and then stitch the unresolved end of the dish shut .
Step 7
set the fresh craft cloth - covered can protector onto the lawn tractor tail so the R-2 are located near the seat crease . rip all rope ends around to the back of the seat and root for together tightly , tying a international nautical mile into both in a way that the bum cover is firmly placed on the seat without ability to move it . connect the back of the seat pass over around the behind back with roofy , if desired , but this is n’t necessary as the hustler ’s body weight will hold the back in place while the lower body exercising weight will preclude slippage .
Tip
Do n’t omit either of the circle . Both the intimate material and the outer fabric material should have R-2 sewn at the crease location to hold out the manipulator ’s body weight . This will make the posterior handle last much longer than if only one of the textile is given a rope link - down . Use an " even backstitch " hand - stitching method when sewing together this seat cover for added strength .
