Welcome to the forum!

I'm going to move your thread over to the JD section to see if we can find you those other manuals.

Can order one through Deere, or can look for one for sale on eBay or similar site.

They are worth the few bucks they cost if you are going to do your own mechanic work or even troubleshooting.

hello Ryan , I bought the LX178 used and the guy has moved 3 times before I bought it. this is when we lived in Wisconsin, now we are back home in Kansas .. good to be back home . Sure would have been nice to have any book with the mower,, picked up a couple of yards here in this small town . Elec. PTO went out and replaced with an aftermarket one, we are now using the father-in-laws Murray.. wow . a lot of difference from the JD with hydrostat !! haha going back to the younger days .. sure makes a guy appreciate what he has !! thanks for the reply , talk to yas later .
