Hi All,
When cruising JDPARTS, I noticed that the "M127976" seat base was used on a large number of models. Here's a partial list:
325, 335, 345, 355D, 415, 425, 445, 455
3032E, 3038E, 3203, 4105 Compact Utility Tractors
GT225, GT235, GT235E, GT245
GX255, GX325, GX335, GX345, GX355
LX255, LX266, LX277, LX279, LX280, LX288, LX289
SST16, SST18
X300, X300R, X304, X320, X324, X340, X360, X465, X475, X500, X520, X530, X534, X540, X700
In theory, that means that any of the seats should interchange with any of the others. (Seat safety switches, etc, however, may be different).
I purchased a newer style seat from an X540 for my GX345, and about 30 seconds later it was swapped into place.
The install took less than a minute:
It's still not likely as comfy as rrmccabe's seat upgrade, but you can't ask for a faster or easier swap.
Here are some before & after pics:

The install took less than a minute:
- remove the safety switch
- pull the e-clip off the mounting rod
- slide out the rod
- swap the seat
- replace the rod
- replace the e-clip
- replace the seat switch
