curly 0 #1 Posted April 11, 2008 I have a John deere LX178 that is in need of a hood replacement. Was originally Kawasaki water cooled and changing over to 20HP Kohler. Did not get hood when bought mower but rest of mower is in great shape so replacing motor and hoping to find hood for replacement. Think other model hood may worl with minor alterations but would like some input fro you. Thanks for any Help Curly in Kaintuckee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #2 Posted April 11, 2008 Curly, Any LX100 series hood would do. But, these are getting harder to find and are expensive if you buy one, especially from JD. I recommend ebay as I see these from time to time. Here's one: hood The hood comes in 2 pieces and there are a couple of auctions on ebay for the lower hood as well as the upper hood. Maybe cheaper that way or not. JD sells the hood in pieces, upper, lower, hinges, etc. The upper is $190 and the lower is $205, new, from Deere. They're not cheap. It also looks like hoods from a GT242, GT262 and GT275 will fit also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
