Welcome Wayneo. Lots of good info here. I've found out all kinds of stuff that I didn't even know I wanted to know, and that's just in the week I've been a member. I've got a 2001 JD LT150 with about 500 hours on it, probably more. Never had a lick of trouble with it, just routine maintenance and belt breaking or battery dying at inopportune times. Hope you get as good service from your JD as I have.
