I don't know why the picture isn't level. Here is my 1997 JD LX-178. It started leaking fuel and being 21 years old I went to the dealer with full intentions of buying a new 300 series. Then they told me my snow blade wouldn't fit so I decided to keep it, they fixed her up and she is cutting and driving like a new one. Glad to be here and looking forward to reading and learning.
