John Deere X300 Series Sunshade 30326
Add shade to your John Deere X300 Series lawn tractor with Original Tractor Cab Sunshade 30326. This model-fit canopy helps block direct sun while you mow, haul, or work in the yard.
The sunshade fits select John Deere X300, X304, X320, X324, X340, and X360 lawn tractors made before 2016. So, you can add shade to your tractor without buying a new machine.
A strong 16-gauge steel frame holds the vinyl top in place. Plus, the open sides let fresh air flow around the seat.
Original Tractor Cab makes Sunshade 30326 in the USA.
John Deere X300 Series Sunshade for Hot Days
A large lawn can take hours to mow.
Hot sun can make that work less pleasant. So, Sunshade 30326 adds a roof of shade above the seat.
The canopy helps reduce direct sun from above. Yet the sides stay open, so air can flow as you work.
Fits Six John Deere X300 Series Models
Original Tractor Cab lists the X300, X304, X320, X324, X340, and X360 as the models for Sunshade 30326.
These are lawn tractors from the older X300 Series. So, check the model name and year before you buy.
This sunshade does not fit 2016 and newer tractors.
Check Your Tractor Before You Order
John Deere has used the X300 name on more than one generation of lawn tractor.
As a result, the model name alone may not tell the full story. Check your tractor year, model, and serial number before you place an order.
Also, make sure the tractor has no parts that may block the sunshade mounts.
Not for 2016 and Newer X300 Series Tractors
Sunshade 30326 fits the older X300 Series design.
John Deere changed the X300 line over time. So, Original Tractor Cab does not list Sunshade 30326 for 2016 and newer machines.
Choose the right shade for your tractor year.
Not Compatible With a Bagger
A rear bagger can change the space behind the seat.
Sunshade 30326 is not compatible with a bagger. So, do not buy this canopy if you plan to use a rear bagging system at the same time.
Check all rear attachments before you order.
Strong 16-Gauge Steel Frame
Sunshade 30326 uses a 16-gauge steel frame.
The frame holds the vinyl top above the operator. As a result, you gain a firm canopy mount without a full cab around the seat.
Check all frame bolts from time to time.
13-Ounce Rip-Stop Vinyl Canopy
The top uses 13-ounce rip-stop vinyl.
Original Tractor Cab chose this fabric to help resist tears, mold, and mildew. So, the canopy can stand up to normal outdoor use when you care for it as the maker directs.
Keep the top clean and dry when you store it.
29-Inch Wide by 41-Inch Long Canopy
Sunshade 30326 has a top that is 29 inches wide and 41 inches long.
This gives the operator an area of shade above the seat. Yet the sides remain open, so the tractor does not feel like a closed cab.
The shaded area will change as the sun moves.
No Holes to Drill
Original Tractor Cab designed Sunshade 30326 to mount without drilling holes.
That helps keep the job simple. Also, it avoids the need to make new holes in the tractor frame for normal installation.
Use the correct parts and follow the guide.
Quick Tool-Free Removal
You can remove the sunshade in seconds after the mounts are in place.
This helps when you need to move the tractor on a trailer or mow near low tree limbs. So, you can take off the top when the job calls for more space.
Follow the removal steps in the manual.
Easy Vinyl Top Removal
The vinyl cover also comes off for cleaning.
So, you can remove grass dust, dirt, and other marks with less effort. Then, let the cover dry before you put it back on the frame.
Do not use harsh cleaners.
One-Year Limited Warranty
Original Tractor Cab lists a one-year limited warranty for Sunshade 30326.
The warranty has terms and limits. So, read the current warranty before you buy or make a claim.
Keep your proof of purchase.
John Deere X300 Sunshade
The John Deere X300 is one of the tractors listed for Sunshade 30326.
Its lawn tractor design suits mowing and other yard work. Yet an open seat leaves the driver in direct sun.
So, the canopy can add useful shade during warm days.
John Deere X304 Sunshade
The X304 is also in the listed fit group.
This tractor is known for its four-wheel steering. So, it can make tight turns around trees and lawn beds.
Yet low tree limbs can still strike a canopy.
John Deere X320 Sunshade
Original Tractor Cab lists the X320 for this canopy.
The X320 is part of the older X300 lawn tractor line. As a result, it shares the type of lawn use that makes overhead shade useful.
Make sure your tractor has the right mount layout.
John Deere X324 Sunshade
The X324 is another model listed for Sunshade 30326.
Its four-wheel steering can help the tractor make tight turns. Yet low tree limbs can still strike a canopy.
So, look above the tractor as you mow.
John Deere X340 Sunshade
The X340 is also in the listed fit group.
This lawn tractor can handle large mowing jobs. So, a canopy can make long days in the sun more pleasant.
Check all mounts and parts before use.
John Deere X360 Sunshade
Original Tractor Cab also lists the X360 for Sunshade 30326.
The X360 is part of the older X300 Series. So, it can use this model-fit canopy when the tractor matches the listed year range.
Check the exact model before you order.
Shade While You Mow
Mowing can keep you in the seat for a long time.
The canopy helps block some direct sun from above. Plus, its open sides let air move around the operator.
That makes the shade useful for warm-weather lawn care.
Shade for Yard Work
X300 Series tractors can do more than mow.
Owners may haul mulch, move yard waste, or use other tools that fit their tractor. So, Sunshade 30326 can add shade during many types of outdoor work.
Check tool clearance before use.
Keep the Tractor Controls Free
A sunshade must not block the tractor controls.
Check the wheel, pedals, brake, lift controls, and seat after you install the frame. Then, move each control through its full range.
Stop if any part makes contact.
Watch for Low Tree Limbs
A canopy adds height to your tractor.
So, look up before you mow under trees. Low limbs can catch the top or bend the frame.
Also, check garage doors, sheds, and trailer roofs.
Remove the Canopy for Tight Spaces
Sunshade 30326 can come off without tools after installation.
That makes it easy to gain more room when you need it. So, remove the canopy before you pass under a low object.
Never force the tractor through a tight space.
Take Care During Trailer Transport
Road wind can place high loads on a canopy.
Original Tractor Cab directs owners to remove Sunshade 30326 for transport in an open truck or trailer. So, take off the sunshade before you haul the tractor in an open trailer.
Keep all loose parts safe during the trip.
Clean the Vinyl Top With Care
Grass dust and dirt can build up on the canopy.
First, remove loose dirt. Then, use mild soap, water, and a soft cloth to clean the vinyl.
Let it dry before storage.
Check the Frame and Mounts
Tractor use can cause vibration.
So, check all frame parts and bolts from time to time. Look for loose parts, bent steel, or damage from a branch.
Do not use the shade if a mount is loose.
Keep the Vinyl in Good Shape
Rip-stop vinyl helps resist tears.
Yet sharp limbs and rough care can still harm the fabric. So, check for cuts and worn spots before each season.
Replace damaged parts when needed.
Is Sunshade 30326 a Rain Cab?
No. Sunshade 30326 is an open-sided canopy.
The top may block some rain from above. Yet wind can blow rain through the sides and front.
So, do not use it as a full rain enclosure.
Does It Protect From Snow or Sleet?
No. This product is made for shade.
Snow, sleet, and cold wind can still reach the operator. So, choose a full weather cab if you need winter cover.
The sunshade does not seal the seat area.
Not a Rollover Bar
The steel frame supports the vinyl top.
It does not act as a rollover bar. Also, it does not protect from a tractor tip or roll.
Keep all factory safety parts in place.
Not a Falling-Object Guard
The canopy is not a falling-object guard.
It does not provide certified protection from limbs, rocks, hail, or flying debris. So, do not use the top as a shield from such hazards.
Avoid unsafe work areas.

Exact specs can change by model and year.
John Deere X300 Engine

Published model data lists a V-twin engine near 25 horsepower. So, the tractor can handle large mowing jobs and other lawn work.

Published model data lists a V-twin engine near 22 horsepower. So, the tractor can handle mowing and other yard jobs with the right tools.

Hydrostatic Drive Across the X300 Series
These X300 Series models use hydrostatic drive.
The operator can change speed without a manual gear shift. So, the tractors suit mowing jobs with many turns and speed changes.
Use the right speed for the ground.
Mower Deck Options
The older X300 Series offered a range of mower deck sizes.
Common deck widths include 38, 42, 48, and 54 inches, based on model and year. So, check the deck tag before you buy blades, belts, or other mower parts.
A wide deck can cut more grass in one pass.
Four-Wheel Steering Models
The X304 and X324 use four-wheel steering.
This helps the rear wheels follow a tighter turn. So, these tractors can work well on lawns with trees and beds.
Yet the sunshade still needs room above the seat.
Yard and Garden Work
X300 Series tractors can do more than mow.
Owners may use carts, spreaders, blades, and other tools that fit the tractor. So, one machine can help with many yard jobs.
Use the right tool for the model.
Snow and Winter Tools
John Deere has offered snow tools for select X300 Series tractors.
Yet Sunshade 30326 is not a snow cab. So, do not count on it to keep you warm or dry during winter work.
Choose the right weather product for the season.
John Deere X300 Series Maintenance
Good care can help an older tractor stay in use.
Check engine oil, filters, belts, blades, tires, and drive parts as Deere directs. Also, clean grass from the deck and engine area.
Use the right parts for your model.
Check the Model and Serial Number
John Deere made changes during the X300 Series production years.
So, use the full model and serial number when you buy service parts. The same rule helps when you shop for Sunshade 30326.
Do not rely on the model name alone.

The History of Original Tractor Cab Company
Original Tractor Cab began in 1939.
The story starts with Stanley Williams, a farmer in Indiana. He needed a way to stay out of harsh weather while he worked on his tractor.
So, he made a cab for his own use.
A Simple Idea From the Farm
Farm work had to go on in rain, wind, snow, and cold.
Stanley saw that a cab could help the person at the wheel. Soon, other farmers saw the same need.
His idea began to grow.
A Farm Magazine Ad Starts a Business
Stanley placed a small ad in a farm magazine.
The response showed that many farmers wanted cab protection. So, he began making cabs for major farm tractor brands.
That was the start of Original Tractor Cab.
Original Tractor Cab During World War II
World War II changed the work at the company.
The team made backpacks and other goods for the war effort. Then, after the war, the business returned to outdoor equipment products.
The company kept moving ahead.
Robert Williams Adds Snowblower Cabs
Stanley's son Robert helped grow the product line.
In the 1960s, he made and patented a cab for walk-behind snowblowers. So, the company began to serve a new type of outdoor machine.
Lawn and garden tractor cabs came soon after.
More Products for Lawn and Garden Work
Outdoor power tools changed through the years.
Small tractors and lawn mowers became common at homes and on large lots. So, Original Tractor Cab made more products for those machines.
The business grew beyond farm tractors.
Wayne Williams Adds Sunshades
The third generation brought more new ideas.
In the early 1990s, Stanley's grandson Wayne made and patented a sunshade for tractors and lawn and garden machines. As a result, the company could help in summer as well as winter.
Sunshade 30326 comes from that same line of work.
Three Generations of the Williams Family
The Williams family helped guide the firm through three generations.
Each new era brought new machines and new needs. Yet the main goal stayed much the same.
Make useful cover for people who work outdoors.
Made in the USA Since 1939
Original Tractor Cab is an American maker of outdoor equipment products.
Today, the firm makes hardtop cabs, soft cabs, snowblower cabs, mower sunshades, and tractor sunshades. Also, it makes products for many brands and models.
Its roots still go back to one Indiana farm.
Original Tractor Cab in Arlington, Indiana
The company is based in Arlington, Indiana.
More than eight decades have passed since Stanley made his first cab. Yet people who work outside still face sun, rain, snow, and wind.
That keeps the old idea useful.
From Farm Cabs to X300 Series Sunshades
A John Deere X300 Series tractor is far different from a farm tractor built in 1939.
Still, the person in the seat works outdoors. So, Original Tractor Cab now makes products such as Sunshade 30326 for lawn and garden work.
The machine changed, but the need for shade did not.
Dealer Sales Helped the Company Grow
Dealers helped Original Tractor Cab reach mower and tractor owners for many years.
They gave buyers a way to find model-fit products. Also, dealers helped owners learn which cab or shade fit their machine.
That network remains part of the company's story.
Shop Direct From Original Tractor Cab
Today, customers can also buy from the manufacturer.
OriginalCab.com helps owners find products by machine model. So, a buyer can look for the right sunshade and ask the maker for fit help.
That direct path gives owners another choice.
More Than Eight Decades of Outdoor Cover
Outdoor machines will keep changing.
Yet sun, rain, snow, and wind will still be part of the work. So, Original Tractor Cab keeps making products that help people work with more cover.
That goal began in 1939.
