I got a Quote A year ago for $91, Bare with no decals. This is just for the green part, not the front grill or mounting hardware.
Open the hood and look on both sides near the hinges. There is a spring on each side. Grab the motor end of the spring and pull the end off of the bracket. Once you have both springs removed, lower the hood about 3/4 of the way and pull the bottom front of the hood forward off the hinges.
lift top hood its on a hinge, place angle bracket with slot over hook at the back inside corner hope this helps
First look and see if the decals are still on the hood of the riding mower, if they are there those are the number of your mower.If the hood and/or the decals are missing then you need to find the serial number, which is located either directly under the steering column, at the back on the rear axle, or near the front on the side frame.Once you have located your serial number, look at the number. It should begin with the Prefix M00 and then the model number of the machine. For example if you find this serial number (M00318X222001) you would have a John Deere 318. Hope this helps.
If you raise the hood of the mower up it should have it on the yellow detailed sticker of mower. Normally 10w30
AnswerUnder hood at front section of engine - I believe passenger sideIt is definitely located under the rear seat on the right side, not under the hood.
Hood
On my GT275 it is located up inside the firewall with two carriage head bolts. If you are standing on the left side of your mower with the hood up (hood to your left hand), look to your right and you will see a panel in front of the steering wheel it will have a bundle of wires going into it. The regulator is mounted backwards so your hand will have to go up inside to remove it. The regulator is about 3" inches square. its a small aluminium box with cooling fins on it. I found a replacement from a Kawasaki web site for $47.00. John Deere wants $147.00. Easy to replace if you can use tools.
There will probably be several fusible links. They should be under the hood as well as possibly under the dash. Check in the inner fenders and close to the under the hood relay box.
shove a 5 year old child up between the front and the radiator... and have them open it

On a battery tray in front of the operator's platform but still under the hood. Contact your local John Deere Dealer for a parts diagram.
The cost to install a hood over a 4x2 grill ranges between 500.00 and 1000.00. The cost of the hood as of 2014 ranges between 3500.0 and 5500.00.
