JD 240 - seat rotten, and parts diagram shows other seats

[johnnyAirtime]

New user here. And just picked up a used '00 240, with 631 hrs on it. The seat, is ... well ... looks like it was caught in a fire, but not. So rotten, that it's not really usable and just something I'd like to change out. I found a parts diagram, that shows several different seat variances. Of course, with or without suspension as well. I ordered the seat (bottom and back cushion - which are separate) that was within my serial number range and it wasn't correct. I've looked and looked, and can't find this seat or an OEM match. The back rest is held in place by one bolt at the top rear, and via the bottom cushion. The bottom cushion, is held in by two small plastic tabs that it slides onto, and then final securing is done with clips at the front. The plastic clips, are molded into the seat bottom. (no metal clips or springs are used) ... I'm looking for a part number, or replacement seat. I'd like to keep it original, and it's starting to get to a point where it seems that it might not be possible. ANYONE able to help, or know of my seat (part number or where to buy)??? Thanks a bunch, John

Why not throw an aftermarket semi-suspension seat in it? they are only about $100 off ebay.
Look up forklift seat, it will giv eyou options, they are generally universal fit.
