Product Overview

The upper hood on these tractors often cracks around the hinge and latch points long before the machine is worn out. Replacing the broken shell keeps debris out of the engine area and gives the tractor a clean front profile again.

This is the upper hood section only, making it a focused repair when the side panels are still usable.
