I have the whole seat units, I'd have to check mesurements but it has a Low
Back on it, as I recall the ones I have are from Yamaha Lawn Tractors, and
are Purple, but other than that are a good seat... I used them as
replacements on tractors I took on trade and fixed up...

I'd have to check the $ but they wern't nearly as expensive as ordering NEW
BLACK ones, so I used them!

I have BLACK covers to fit over many size seat pans also, if your metal pan
is still good...
Tony.
