TRAC SEATS Yellow High Back Seat for John Deere GT225 GT235 GT245 GX325 GX335 GX345 GX355D LX255 Lawn Mower Tractor

What It Is

The TRAC SEATS Yellow High Back Seat is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement seat designed for specific John Deere lawn tractors and garden tractors. It provides a taller backrest for better lumbar support during mowing, snow removal, or towing tasks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check your tractor model first. This seat fits John Deere GT225, GT235, GT245, GX325, GX335, GX345, GX355D, and LX255. It does not fit other Deere series (e.g., 100, 300, X300, or X500) without modification.

Measure your existing seat pan. The mounting pattern is a standard 5.5" x 7.5" four-bolt hole pattern (center-to-center). If your original seat uses a different pattern or a slide/rail system, this seat will not bolt directly.

OEM vs aftermarket: This is a TRAC-branded replacement, not John Deere OEM. It uses the same mounting holes and wiring harness for the seat safety switch (typically a two-wire, normally-open switch). Verify your tractor has a standard seat switch connector—some early models may require splicing.

Deck size irrelevant – seat fitment is independent of cutting deck size.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy (15–30 minutes). Requires basic tools: 4 bolts (usually 5/16" or 3/8"), a ratchet, and possibly a wrench for the seat switch connector. No drilling needed if your mounting pattern matches.
• Quality: The foam is firm but supportive. The vinyl cover is UV-resistant and holds up well in sun, but avoid leaving it uncovered in heavy rain. The high back is about 4" taller than the stock low-back seat.
• Common gotcha: The seat safety switch wires are pre-attached. If your tractor uses a different connector type (e.g., flat spade terminals vs. a Deutsch-style plug), you may need to cut and splice or use butt connectors. Check your old seat’s wiring before removing it.
• Color note: “Yellow” is a bright, high-visibility yellow—matches Deere yellow on newer models, but may differ slightly from faded factory paint. If color match is critical, compare a paint sample.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible GT or GX series Deere and want a supportive, taller backrest without modifying your tractor’s mounting or wiring, this is a solid upgrade. It’s well-reviewed for the price and significantly cheaper than OEM. Avoid it if you need a perfect color match or if your tractor uses a non-standard mounting pattern.
