We have an old Walter Wood tractor seat made from cast iron. It shows a lot of wear and has a small crack in one of the tines.(see pictures 8-9) There are spots that show deterioration on it.(pictures 3-4) If your looking for a show quality piece....keep looking. This piece has LOTS of good old patina. There is an old bolt still stuck in the center of the seat. Look the pictures over carefully and use the enlarging feature to get a good look. Not my area of expertise but I will answer any questions best I can. Buyer to pay only $15 shipping to the lower 48 states. I will ship the least expensive way to ship. Thanks for looking!
