Looking for JD LX277 hood

[149owner]

I went to open the hood to check the oil on my JD LX277 and a big chuck of it broke off in my hand. I'd like to ask if someone in this forum has a hood they would sell or know someplace in the MA-RI area that sells used parts. My wife had already put a big crack down the side of it a few years ago and I epoxied it back together. I could probably do the same thing ,with some added support underneath, but would rather just put another hood on it. Thanks for any help you can provide.

CL is a good place to look for parted out lawn tractors. Possibly eBay as well.

Part # AM132529

I see it on sale new from Deere at $148. Might be the shorter, easier path to take.
