Are y'all sure that's supposed to be a seat? There's no where to put your feet, and the base of it's sorta bowl shaped.

Yair . . . Actually the 333 Wabco I ran came with an extra seat. Can't remember much about it but my wife went for a run occasionally so it must have been okay.

Cheers.

That second seat looks like a le Tourneau Westinghouse seat . Look in the video at that articulated dumper . Long ago I mounted such a seat in my D7 to have more comfort .
