I got so mad at my LT166 one year, I ripped the hood right off and smashed it on the ground. Then I looked to see how much a new hood costed :(

I know, those hoods ain’t cheap unless from a lawnmower junkyard or just someone that has a parts mower. The one thing I definitely dislike about the hoods now of days is the hoods are thin plastic that break too easy. The hoods on the John Deere’s made around the early 90s and back in the day besides the stx series those were thin plastic they were made fiberglass, which they were definitely made right. I was able to buy a new hood from a guy that needed it gone. It actually makes the mower look a lot better as the John Deere lt150 hood on the mower falls off every time I try to mow with it lol.
