john deere lx176

The lower hood on my LX176 is broken beyond repair, but my neighbor has a 240 that has a great looking hood with metal hinges that he is willing to sell me. Can I swap the parts that I need from the 240 to the LX176? I already know that the hoods don't look the same, I am just trying to keep...

I have a ‘92 LX176 with a 38” deck and the rear bagger. It’s been a great mower but getting a bit long in the tooth. I found a nice shape LT150 with the 38” side discharge deck without the bagger. My Deere dealer can’t confirm that my LX bagger will fit the LT, and it’s at a distant dealership...

I have a 1992 LX176 with a Kawasaki 14HP engine I bought used about twenty years ago. It has been a workhorse & I’ve had very little trouble with it. It has been blowing oil smoke at start-up and early in load (bagging) conditions for 5 + years but soldiers on. Use is in Michigan. It starts...

Hi All - Been creeping in the shadows on the site for a long time and its finally time for my first question - please be gentle :eek: I bought a house with about 3/4 an acre that needs cutting, gets HEAVY leaves in the fall and has a gradual 5 degree slope to the lawn. Since I need another...

Long story short, I have a Lx176 without an ignition. Would it be possible/easy enough to just make a kill switch/start button/other buttons for headlights/etc without trying to find a new ignition?

I recently re-powered my LX176 with a new 17.5 HP Briggs 31C707. When I turned the key I immediately noticed that the battery light did not come on. With the original engine, the light would come on until the engine started then it would go off. With the new engine the light never comes on...

Our LX176 has been mowing grass on our one acre "tree farm" since 1993 and has been equipped at times with the JD mulching kit and with JD high lift blades. In recent years I've kept the high lift blades on year round because it is overall less trouble. In the fall I pull a JRCO cart bagger...

I recently bought a LX176 with 14HP Kawasaki. The motor ran good but the fuel filter was full of crud from the rusted pick up tube in tank.

Hi Fellow Landowners, Happy to be a part of this group. Richard

Hello, Hope someone can give me some insight as to what the problem may be with my early 90's deere LX176. It starts fine when I have my foot on the brake, but when I remove my foot, it stalls out. I've checked out some electrical connections in the dash, but can't figure it out. I posted this...

Hello, I have a JD LX176 Lawn Tractor that I bought for $700 maybe 2 years ago and it was close to being like new. I used it at first and the belt on the deck snapped. I didn't replace the belt real fast because I already own a big Gravely I just bought the LX-176 because it seemed like a...

Hello, Great site you all have here. Recently purchased a used LX176 that came with a 48" deck a snowthrower attachment and a dump cart that had two rotted flat tires. The upper hood was taped together with aluminum tape, and the machine was filthy. After some epoxy for the hood and a good...

I had a spark plug blow out on a John Deere LX176. The dealer had to remove the head and install a spark plug insert. The bill reads 3.7 hours to complete this repair which seems like a long time to me. Can anyone tell me if this seems excessive or how long something like this should really...

I have just replaced my old battery and my battery warning light is still coming on. New battery was also drained after a few hours of use. Can someone tell me what charges the battery on these machines? Thanks in advance for your help!

I will be looking at a used LX176 on Monday. I believe it is around 5 years old (how can I tell?) Any suggestions on what to look for? Any of you have one of these? The owner is asking 2k and includes: utility cart, roller, dethatcher, and spreader. Any input would be most helpful. DC
