E-AUC13500 Deluxe Yellow Seat for John Deere X300, X300R, X304, X305R, X310, X324, X330, X530, X500, X520, X570, X580+

What It Is

The E-AUC13500 Deluxe Yellow Seat is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement seat designed specifically for John Deere X300, X500, and X500+ series lawn tractors. It’s built for residential mowing and light-duty grounds care, offering a more comfortable ride than the stock seat.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your tractor model: this seat fits John Deere X300, X300R, X304, X305R, X310, X324, X330, X530, X500, X520, X570, and X580+ models. It replaces OEM part number AUC13500. Measure your existing seat mounting hole pattern (center-to-center) – it should be 10.5” wide and 7.5” long. The seat pan is 16.5” x 13.5”. Check that your tractor uses a two-bolt slide rail mounting system (most X300/X500 series do). Not compatible with zero-turn mowers or older Deere models with different bolt patterns.

Key Things to Know

• Quality & comfort: The deluxe foam and vinyl cover are noticeably thicker than OEM, reducing vibration on rough terrain. The yellow color matches Deere’s factory finish.
• Installation: Easy bolt-on swap – no drilling or modifications needed. You’ll need a 1/2” socket and wrench. Allow 20-30 minutes.
• Safety switch: If your original seat has a safety switch (operator presence sensor), you’ll need to transfer it to this seat. The seat pan has pre-drilled holes for the switch bracket.
• Weight capacity: Rated for up to 300 lbs. Heavier users may find the foam compresses over time.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible X300 or X500 series John Deere and your original seat is worn, cracked, or uncomfortable, this is a solid upgrade. It’s a direct fit, adds noticeable comfort, and costs less than a dealer OEM replacement. Not for zero-turn or older Deere models.
