I think I can go get some measurements to see if the metal hinges will fit the LX176 frame. There is the possibility the 240 hood is longer than the LX176 hood also. I am still looking on Amazon trying to compare the hoods that way also. The 240 is not going anywhere, it has been next to the...
The lower hood on my LX176 is broken beyond repair, but my neighbor has a 240 that has a great looking hood with metal hinges that he is willing to sell me. Can I swap the parts that I need from the 240 to the LX176? I already know that the hoods don't look the same, I am just trying to keep...
Brian Moyer did the work and bought the motor for spare parts. As far as I know he has not done anything with it yet. Now that I see what this 750D does I realize how bad the old motor was. It was to the point that it would cut the grass as long as it was within a week of cutting it before...
reviving an old thread here. Long story short instead of rebuilding the 20 horse Kawasaki in my 425 I did a repower instead. The kit I got came from this company.

I picked up the engine at their shop and dropped it...
54" deck 2 bagger
It looks like this, but this is for a newer machine

I have to replace the hopper top for my rear bagger and am not sure what part numbers are for mine. The John Deere parts catalog has a few different numbers, but I am thinking they are for newer 400 series, not my 1995 425. Then again maybe they are all the same? I looked for part numbers on...
This is real good news! Still waiting on a call back from the other machine shop. If it is a no go with this one I will call Repower Pros. Lancaster is not far at all, Amish country!
Dann, The tractor is using oil now, every other start I will be topping the oil up. At the moment I want to be proactive because I don't want it to die on me during the busy mowing, yard maint. season. I am hoping for a call back from a machine shop today about a rebuild.
I had considered...
Ok, I stopped at Hilltop today, no motors are available according to them. The tractor is just to old. They did supply me with a name of a company locally that may do the rebuild on the motor. I am stopping at their shop tomorrow afternoon. More then.
Wow, that is one complete engine. A few things won't fit my 425 but swaping parts over should not be a big deal. The John Deere shortblock would be ok also. I get to find out today what the deal with that will be. I'll let you all know tonight.
I have not replace that part, thought about it, but did not do it yet. I would imagine since it seems to be flooding when hot it may be bad. I will put it on my list of things to do this coming week.
Thanks for the suggestion!!!!
So Sorry, Bangor PA. 18013. A friend suggested I just go to John Deere and order a new motor. Gonna call tomorrow to the local place, Hilltop Sales and ask about it. I guess these days I am going to have to pay freight any way you look at it. The one place requires you ship your core to...
