No Handle on Pack a Seat.

I just purchased a Pack a Seat. I Love It. But when I try to reposision it under my body. There is no handle on the right side to assist the Ergonomic movement. I will now go to Ace Hardware to get one. Don't forget to tilt your Pack a Seat forward. The Lever Leg Drag is out of sight. No way to get ...

The Big Tilt

Seriously Now,
Tilting the seat forward releaves the leg drag when working the levers. Try it with the spacers and you will see what I am telling you. You can even adjust your hight with how far back you sit on the seat.
It really works.

Tilt ed Pack a Seat

Anyone out there ever sit on a forward tilted Pack a Seat?
I cut down the front legs on mine about an inch so that It would tilt forward. I think it is more confortable now.

MSA

Thanks for the info Reese,
You have always been one of my hero's since I first saw you on AUSTIN CITY LIMITS back in the 70s. I now get to see you play on RFD TV. I can not remember the name of the show because I just had two Martini's. It is a great show.
