  • / Discontinued Seat (400388) for 2011 Dixie Chopper Iron Eagle 2650
The seat pan for my 2011 Iron Eagle (2650) has broken. The part number (400388) has been discontinued and is not in stock anywhere. I purchased a replacement seat that fit the mounting, but it was not compatible with the operator presence safety switch. Does anyone have a recommendation on where I can purchase a replacement seat that will fit and works with the safety switch? I reached out to a couple suppliers and to Nothern, but neither were able to help. Thanks in advance.

take the old one to a fabricator and have them repair it, or have the new one modified to work with the switch. Or get on the phone and start calling around to mower bone yards to see if anyone has one.

Change the seat switch.

That should take he standard domed Husqvarna seat switch
So just cut a round hole in the new seat base and bolt the switch in.
If it does not work, scoop a SMALL amount of foam out.
I regularly fr bot seats to ride on becaus they are 1/3 the price and a lot more weather resistant
Never had a problem making a seat switch work .
