I've had my lx4900 for a 7 years now and love it. 1200 hours and haven't had one issue with it that wasn't self-inflicted. Well yesterday I really inflicted some damage to it while lifting a trailer. Both chain hooks came undone and the trailer came smashing down on the hood. Luckily nothing was damaged but the hood. In a perfect world I'd find a matching hood for dirt cheap and nearby. Most likely I'll have do some plastic welding and painting unless I can find a hood from another model or manufacture. I thought I remember seeing that the LX4500/LX4900 is basically the same as a JD model. Does anyone have a suggestion?
