Abstract: A tiltable operator's seat assembly for a backhoe has detachable independently tiltable arm rest assemblies pivotally mounted on opposite sides thereof. The seat assembly is tiltable between normal, mid-tilt and full-tilt positions. Each arm rest assembly is independently tiltable upwardly from a full-down (stored) tilt position, to normal-tilt, to mid-tilt or to high-tilt positions. An operating mechanism in the arm rest assembly enables it to be releasably locked in the selected tilt position. The arm rest assembly cannot be moved downwardly from one tilt position to a lower tilt position. Upward pivoting of the arm rest from the high-tilt position to a reset position operates the operating mechanism to effect unlocking and enable the arm rest assembly to be swung to full-down (stored) tilt position for storage or for repositioning.
