Swapping out that wobbly seat on the MF GC1710

This is an owner's DIY fix for a specific gripe with the GC1710's factory turntable seat: excessive wobble and an annoying rotation latch for switching between loader and backhoe use. Gene V swaps in a $400 Amazon skid-steer seat, fabricating custom mounts and reusing the original slider rails, then demonstrates how flipping over to face the backhoe now works. Short and narrow in scope, useful mainly for GC1710 owners annoyed by seat slop or the swivel mechanism.
