I just picked up an hour meter for a pretty good price and was wondering where it would be placed on my tractor. There happens to be a perfectly sized hole when you lift the hood on the left side, which would place it just behind the battery near the top when it slides in.

Thank you in advance,
Paul

I had a LX188 and the meter was at the location you described.

What type of hour meter? I installed a digital one on my LX178 on the dash. See photo.

That's a nice meter and neat install Shimon.

The one I picked up is a round meter, about 2" diameter. I saw a meter online that was specified for my tractor as well as a series of others and it looked similar to the one I picked up. It seems easy enough to mount it under the hood as the hole is already there. I don't have a need to see it at all times, and could actually do without one but thought it would be nice to have.

Just got it installed on the weekend. Fit nicely and was quite easy to wire up. Should have done it a while back. Thanks for your input guys.
