"Sit & Scoot" Mechanics Chair FARM SHOP Miscellaneous 22-3-27 "It's the best thing I ever built," says James D. Teeter about a "sit & scoot" mechanics chair he built out of scrap iron.
The chair's 16 in. sq. platform is made of feederhouse bars off an old International 1460 combine. Each corner is fitted with a 2 1/2-in. dia. rubberized caster wheel.
Teeter bent a feederhouse bar into a U-shape and mounted it at a 90-degree angle on the platform for unobstructed operator foot movement. A seat off an old mechanical tobacco transplanter mounts on the U-shaped bar for the operator to sit on.
"You ride 16 to 18 in. off the ground, ideal for working on engines," Teeter says.
For fun, the final touch was adding a sticker off a Yamaha motorcycle to the back of the seat. It advises anyone who operates it to "wear a helmet".
