Fitment Note: Both hood pieces must fit the same tractor. Deere lists AM132526 for several GT and LX models, but AM117724 lower hood has documented LX172/LX173/LX176/LX178/LX186/LX188 fitment; confirm the kit parts together.
Product Overview
The original plastic hood pieces may crack at the hinge, split at the grille or break after years of vibration and sunlight. Replacing the damaged sections brings back the hood’s fit and appearance while protecting the engine area.
John Deere catalogs the upper hood for additional GT models, but the lower hood has a narrower confirmed LX-model application. Do not assume both sections fit a GT solely because the upper panel does.
