I HAVE A NEW 44. The first modification was with the armrest. It was too far back for my grandson and myself. I bored another set of holes 2"s in front of the factory ones. This gives the rest a more comfortable feeling. In addition I took a 3/8 inch closed foam pad used to lay under a sleeping bag and cut a lining for the inside of the rest. This was another improvement.
FACTORY WARNING. The armrest came with out the mounting bolt. Ace Hardware fixed it for $0.27. The warning is about the service or in my case a lack of service from the factory. I have talked with two Fisher reps at the factory. The second was about 3 weeks after speaking to person one. Both promised a bolt for the rest. 8 weeks later NO bolt. It is not the 27 cent bolt, it is the lack of follow up to my calls. If I cannot get a bolt problem fixed what hope do I have for a successful factory response if I have a major problem???. I am pleased with the MD. It is a good entry level machine with GB features. I would recommend it with one proviso. Have an armrest bolt handy.
