Just got a lx277. The old man who sold it serviced it yearly at the dealer. When I got it, he handed me a receipt 2 weeks old showing 500 dollar tune up. Fluids changed, new belts, new blades. He had it upgraded to a freedom mulching mower deck. Handed me a box of extra oil filters and stuff. Everything on it works and the plastic is perfect. He showed me a way to open it so the hood wont ever crack. Just mowed my lawn. And just wow. The mulching duck mower set up is incredible. I was shocked at how smooth it sounded. It wasnt loud. The cruise control is a joy to use. The engine is special. I put a steering wheel ball on it. With its turning radius it was easy to use around the fence and house. I also replaced the seat and seat springs. I got it for $900. Was listed for $1100. This mower is downright a gem if you ever find one. Even in 2024. Just an amazing John Deer.

I bought mine 20 years ago.Still going great! Regular oil changes and fuel filters use premium grade fuel(gas!)
