I am wanting to buy a lawn tractor, not a Rembrandt or a classic car. What investment? To me, a lawn tractor is a tool to use for lawn maintenance and for tinkering around and playing "farmer". A few doodads like lug tires and a three point hitch for tillers, blades, etc. will make me happy as a clam. Spending more money to get green paint and bragging rights is not what I need to do. Your decision to buy the excellent John Deere LX277 is a good one, based upon your needs and wants. My needs and wants are a price I will pay, a Briggs and Stratton engine, preferably with an oil filter, and a machine dependable enough to do what I want it to do. I tend to get tired of things like this in less than five years and want something different. So the less I have to pay for what I need, the sooner I can trade it for something diffferent that I will want later. I broke down and paid 450 dollars for a John Deere PZ14 push mower ten years ago, because I got tired of cheap push mowers losing wheels and breaking decks. The JD has served me well with only one spark plug, two air filters, one blade and a bag for the catcher being the only expense. Great machine. I am definitely a JD lawn equipment fan, but their tractors are rediculously high priced for my needs and are powered by strange engines. The only service department I need is my garage, and parts for the MTD are as near as your Sears and Sawbuck store! My two cents. Enjoy your Deere and all the best........Greg

Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
