Everyone who has tried to buy JD parts knows how much they cost. This replacement seat was purchased because my old X540 seat fell apart. I didn't see X540 in the description but if you're looking for a seat that fits that model, this one will work. I was somewhat skeptical about the quality based upon the price when ordering but it turned out to be a really nice surprise for me.It's a very comfortable seat. It's definitely more comfortable than the original equipment one I had which looked almost exactly like this one. Installation was pretty easy, but like other reviews, the hole for the seat sensor was just a little too small. I just used a simple file to make it large enough to fit the sensor. I also had to take the seat base off in order to install the seat. Just scooting the springs over with my hand and loosening 4 nuts for the base was pretty simple. It's well worth the effort for the price and quality.The sensor activation with this seat worked fine for me, unlike some other reviews stating the sensor wouldn't activate when sitting on it. I would say that the nice, comfy amount of padding on the seat may impact the triggering of the switch. For me it's been fine, but if I lean a little bit it'll disengage the switch and shut the mower off. It's a bit sensitive. I'm about 180lbs but if you're on the lighter side, you may need to add padding between the seat and the sensor before you install it.I haven't had it long but so far it's been great. No regrets. If it you need this seat and it fits your JD, I would recommend buying it.Edit 7-16-2022: One thing that I forgot to mention is that this seat doesn't have a low spot at the back of the seat bottom. The OEM seat had this low spot, and when it would rain water would pool there. I don't know if it's the angle of my seat mount on my mower but this seat lets the water roll right off. No puddle on the seat anymore. I love it.Edit 10-09-2023: 16 Months after purchase and this is the 2nd Summer. I was a very hot Summer this year which made the seat vinyl a little sticky. I think this is caused by sunlight degrading it. This did not happen with my original John Deere seat BUT I still think this seat is well worth the money. I would recommend some kind of seat cover if you leave your lawn tractor outside all summer or park it in the shade.

This seat is awesome! It's a little bigger, better, and more comfortable than the OEM John Deere seat. Highly recommend!

This set fit well on my John Deere X300. The item arrived on time and was as described by the seller. Installation was easy in about 10-15 minutes and seems to be of good quality.

Mounted easily to a john deere x300 with factory mount. Seat seems to be of high quality and feels good. The back stands higher than the original which is excellent for me. So far I am highly pleased.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Needed a replacement seat for my 2011 John Deere X304 lawn tractor because the original finally just totally fell apart. I had been using the old Duck tape method for a few years and even the couldn't save it. So, after doing search I read many reviews on different items and settled on this one. It is a little bit bigger that my original, which is fine with me. Installation was super easy. Unhook the kill switch from the original and pop out the retaining rod. Put the new seat on, secure it with the rod, twist the kill switch into the slot and that's it! Seat is comfortable to me. Again, I don't know how durable this one will be but unfortunately original John Deere seats seem to just be garbage for the last few years and I didn't want to spend another $100 to buy one!

Ordered for my GX345. Installed in under a minute.Pushed me too far forward. Yes the adjustment was all the way back.Put it on my LX289 and it's great. Adjustment needed to be all the way back.I'm 5'8". If I were taller it would be too close.Great seat. Very comfortable. I wish I would have replaced it sooner. Years sooner. Hopefully it lasts. Seems like it will.

Excellent construction and fit. Just like the original.

Very good replacement for OEM John Deere mower seat. Less than half the price of the OEM and looks great and well made. Even removed the emblem from original seat and reapplied to this seat. Looks great! Would definitely recommend.
