Hello,

I hit a pavement seam with the edge of my plow blade with my LX 178 at excessive speed. Now, the blade, tractor body, seat, everything is listing significantly to the left. Two questions: what have I done, and can it be repaired by someone reasonably handy? Thanks for your responses!

Heh, you might be in for some major straightening work, and then some reinforcing. The frame on the LX models is little more than stamped heavy gauge sheet metal. I am sure it can be hammered back into shape, but will likely need reinforcement to hold that shape.
