Followed your lead and because of this video - I now have a new seat on my John Deere LT 180 riding mower. You were correct the higher seat was a great added touch. I heated off the old JD sticker on the back of the trash seat and put it on the new one, looks perfect, thanks for taking the time to put this video together it was a huge help.....
got a seat from the same company, the seat on my JD was slightly different than yours ..99 model year but they had it in stock, only difference was no JD sticker on the back of the seat ,,i can live without the sticker and save around a hundred over dealer prices
