This is an excellent seat. However the seat mounting frame and configuration was not compatible with my prior seat. The rear springs caused the seat to slope forward and were so stiff that when my 220 lb body sat on the seat, it would not depress to allow the engine interlock switch to recognize the driver was seated. To correct this I had to take a cutting blade and shorten the springs about 1 inch. Also, the release lever for the seat adjustment was improperly designed. The lever had to be placed into a vice and bent so the tip of lever would allow driver hand to grasp ans operate. No mounting bolts were provided. Before seat could be attached new bolts had to be purchased. After mounting, removing, modifying components and re-attaching, the seat is not functioning acceptably but may have to cut down springs a little more. TBD.Read full review

Bolts right up to original holes on the 265. As others state, the springs are incorrect height and far too long. Plan to cut the springs and then use 1.5" pvc caps from hardware store on top of your cuts so springs (also 1.5" OD) don't cut into the plastic seat bottom. Buy your own hardware in advance. 3/4" long bolts, fender washers and nyloc nuts are suggested. Use tape to hold nuts to wrench for fitting under tractor and then bolts down from above make install easy. Loop seat switch if you haven't already. Good value seat overall.

I put it in my Gt 235. It leans forward a little but I hope the springs lose a little in time. Comfortable and not much fab needed to make it work.

The seat itself is easy to install by just removing a rod. However, to replace the entire mechanism you must remove the back of the mower chasis to access bolts underneath holding the mechanism onto it. Bolts are not provided.

Maybe I'm a tad slow but a picture of removing the rear half of the tractor and a blowup diagram would have helped. The seat is now very close to the wheel but I will wait on dismantling the tractor until another day. Again, excellent quality but make sure you take a look at how the fit will be.
