John Deer LX 178
Hi All,

New member here looking for a repair manual for my John Deere LX 178. Hydro Drive belt gave out and took a couple of idler/tension pulleys with it to boot. Wondering if I can replace the belt from underneath or if I have to disassemble the unit from the ground up??? Nothings ever simple. Also, is there a safety (By the look of them I think I already know the answer = the 2 plastic pulleys) to prevent damage to the engine when the broken belts binds up on the pulley. Man the engine made a **** of a racket before the belt broke.

Thanks for your help.

Yes after you remove the deck.
If it's like the LX188 you need to remove the gas tank to check the transmission pulley.
