  • Patent number: 4072343
    Abstract: A seat for a dual-purpose vehicle having a first implement at the front and a backhoe at the rear includes a base, a translational assembly mounted for fore-and-aft adjustment on the base, with a latch operable either from the front or the rear, and a rotational assembly mounted for rotation about a transverse pivot axis on the translational assembly. The rotational assembly has first and second cushioned members at an angle of about 100.degree. to one another, and rotates through an angle of about 80.degree. between a forwardly facing position and a more elevated rearwardly facing position. A spring loaded plunger on a side of the translational assembly engages either of two holes in an adjacent part of the rotational assembly to lock the latter selectively in either of said positions.
