TRAC SEATS Yellow Tractor Seat for John Deere 325 335 345 355D GT225 GT235 GT235E LX255 LX277 LX279 LX288 Lawn Mower Tractor- AM131531, AM136044

What It Is

This TRAC SEATS Yellow Tractor Seat is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the OEM seat on several John Deere lawn and garden tractors, specifically the 300-series and GT/LX-series models. It’s designed for mowing, towing, and general yard work, offering a durable, comfortable seating option for machines that originally came with a yellow seat.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your model from this list: John Deere 325, 335, 345, 355D, GT225, GT235, GT235E, LX255, LX277, LX279, LX288. This seat replaces OEM parts AM131531 and AM136044. Check that your mower has the standard two-bolt slide rail mounting pattern (roughly 10.5" x 8.5" center-to-center). Measure your current seat pan or rail spacing to confirm. It does NOT fit models with a different mounting system, like the X-series or older 100-series. Deck size (e.g., 48" vs 54") doesn’t matter for seat fitment—only the chassis model.

Key Things to Know

• Quality & Material: The seat is a hard plastic shell with a textured vinyl cover and thin foam padding. It’s functional but not plush—expect less cushioning than OEM for long sessions.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on swap—remove four bolts from your old seat slide, transfer the slide rails to the new seat, and reinstall. Takes 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools (socket set).
• Common Gotcha: The yellow color may vary slightly from the original John Deere yellow, especially if your tractor is older and faded. Check photos for shade match.
• Safety Switch: The seat has a hole for the safety switch plunger, but you may need to transfer the switch bracket from your old seat. Not all models use the same bracket.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly, direct replacement for a worn or broken seat on a compatible John Deere tractor and don’t mind a slightly firmer ride and possible color mismatch. It’s a solid value for occasional use or restoration projects, but skip it if you want premium comfort or a perfect OEM color match.
