Any of you have a black vinyl seat cushions in your gondola??? I am interested in the back cushion and if a part number is still visible.

Maybe someone has two laying around??

I have black seat back and seat cushion.

I have had it off and replaced the hardware that holds it in place.

I do not recall any part number visible.

Are you pretty sure they have a number on the back?

Way too cold to go out today, but maybe in a few days I could look at it again.

10876402 is the seat back part number listed in the parts TM.

10876401 is the seat bottom.

Thanks for verifying that they had black. My M62 originally came to me with some rotted Green Vinyl ones and I have gone back to making a Canvas set for the M62 but I am finding that I now need two vinyl black cushions that were roughly the size of the gondola back cushion. So again thanks for verifying as I now have a direction on what I need.

BLACK!! Vinyl!!! Sorry, mine are green canvas/foam/plywood/staples (as issued). Much more friendly on the behind when craneing in the hot sun without trousers (truck still has hard top - therefore shouldn't wear pants).

VT can you take some pictures as you rebuild yours. Mine were all gone and I have the canvas and need to purchase the foam but I am going to rebuild them in canvas ones that I can take in and out to protect from weather.

Can do, Hope I remember though. Mine still had the plywood back and its only good for a pattern at this point. I got the canvas from JATONKA and it smells wonderful in my file cabinet drawer. When I get around to it I will try and remember to post some pictures when I do them. For now all my puttering is going towards the GT and that's where the M543 cushions are going.
