What happens here

The old tractor seat is removed to make way for a new, more comfortable suspension seat. First, the existing seat is unbolted (four half-inch bolts) and an electrical plug is disconnected. The old seat is then carefully lifted off. The area under the seat is cleaned. The new suspension seat is unboxed, which is heavily protected by dense foam packaging. The new seat is then positioned, and the electrical plug is reconnected, ensuring the ground wire is properly seated. The four bolts are used to secure the new seat to the tractor, with options for different seating positions. Finally, a pin is used to secure the seat in the down position.

Goal: Remove the old tractor seat, unbox the new suspension seat, and install it by securing it with bolts and connecting the electrical plug and ground wire.
