The fuel injector does have 2) O-rings. I replaced mine just to eliminate a leak.

No oxygen sensor. I think it has a pressure sensor.

I just bought this used X540 with 138 hours. It is 4 years old, so the guy did not mow much. He traded for a push mower. I had suspected the hours because the front tires were almost completely worn out in the center. How could you possibly wear out these tires in 138 hours?:eek: However they...

I just bought a used X540 mower. The PO had installed this mulching kit with M145516 blades. I planned to take this off but seen the kit cost about $225. So I decided to try to mow with it. It 1st left stems of grass, but I determined the front of the deck was way too low; I have this fixed. I...

The battery is 5-years old & I have been expecting to replace it, but... Yesterday the battery light came on. So with it running I checked the battery voltage, 14.37 vdc. I shut it, off and the battery cranks the mower as normal; battery light still on when running. With the mower off the...

I stand corrected.:) I went to a local shop hoping to get the hoses made, with no luck. Those special ends seem to be only a JD thing. That was bad news because I wanted the hoses built just a tad different. When I tilt the wheel it's hard to steer so I suspect something inside is worn or...

Just to help others I will post this info. After I cleaned up the hose connections, you see a strange looking pressure plate. These hose ends do not SCREW in at all... You see two bolts (13mm socket) that has to come off and that strange shaped pressure bracket can be wiggled out. All of these...

Maybe the crows foot wrenches is the answer. 7 Piece 3/8" Crowfoot Metric Wrench Set This picture was a while back, but it does show the lines connected to the Power Steering pump underneath. This is looking up from underneath. The pump is behind the lines with the steering shaft running down...

What a mess! I just finished mowing when I seen oil on the side of the deck. In about 30 seconds the deck was totally covered in oil; all down in the spindles, belt etc, along with all the grass. I painted two nice lines across the yard with the oil running off the deck. The power steering...

I know plugs are not that expensive, and I have always just put in new ones and trashed the old ones just to eliminate the question. But I have been checking some old plugs with a VOM and I suspect that cleaning a plug might be just as good as a new one. I use carb cleaner, soft brass brush...

Be careful with the spring. This is not that good of a photo, but I think that is where you will see the spring. You will need the deck off.

I replaced the wiring harness on mine plus the pins in the connector. This harness goes to all those expensive sensors and I decided to eliminate bad wiring or connections. Old wires will get stiff and crack. I also replaced the wires to the ignition coils. Replacing the connector is not so...

I doubt that's you problem, but see attached pdf.

Well I think I posted the wrong link. I suppose others are selling this also and these might be OK. But this is the one I put on my LX188 and they are the same pedal per this listing. They are $32 with free shipping. John Deere 425 445 455 "Revised Enhanced" Reverse Pedal with Rubber Pad | eBay...

Is this the one you need?
