G-PLUS Lawn Mower Garden Tractor Seat Yellow Compatible with John Deere Mowers TX30, STX38, 130, 160, 165, 170, 175, 180, 185, 110 GG420-32959, MG861683

What It Is

The G-PLUS Garden Tractor Seat is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement seat designed for a range of John Deere lawn tractors and garden tractors (models TX30, STX38, 130, 160, 165, 170, 175, 180, 185, and 110). It replaces OEM part numbers GG420-32959 and MG861683, providing a yellow seat that matches the classic John Deere aesthetic.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

1. Model year & series: This seat fits the listed models but may not fit newer or older variants within the same series (e.g., a 1980s 110 vs a 1990s 110). Check your machine’s model number and year.
2. Mounting pattern: The seat uses a four-bolt mounting pattern. Measure the center-to-center distance on your existing seat base—this seat typically fits a 7.5" x 7.5" or 8" x 8" pattern, but confirm your tractor’s dimensions.
3. Deck size is irrelevant – seat fitment is independent of mower deck size. Focus on model number and mounting holes.

If your tractor has a different mounting pattern or a slide-adjustable base, you may need an adapter plate or a different seat.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—requires basic hand tools (wrench or socket set) and about 15–20 minutes. No wiring or hydraulic lines.
• Quality vs OEM: This is an aftermarket seat. Users report the foam is firmer and the vinyl cover is thinner than OEM John Deere seats. Expect a shorter lifespan (2–3 seasons vs 5+ for OEM).
• Common gotcha: The seat does not include a seat switch (safety interlock). If your tractor has a safety switch under the seat, you must transfer your old switch or bypass it—this seat has no provisions for one.
• Color accuracy: Yellow is a close match to John Deere yellow but may be slightly brighter or more matte than original paint on older models.

Should You Buy It

Buy this seat if you need a budget-friendly, quick replacement for a worn or broken seat on a listed John Deere model and you’re comfortable with a firmer ride and slightly less durable materials. Skip it if you want OEM quality, a seat with a built-in safety switch, or a wider fit across multiple tractor brands.
