This aftermarket hood is a replacement body panel for compatible John Deere lawn and garden tractors. It covers the engine compartment and helps restore the original look and function of the front bodywork when the old hood is cracked, faded, or damaged. Built to match OEM This hood is made to match the original hood’s general shape, fit, and mounting layout for a straightforward replacement. It is intended to line up with the tractor’s existing bodywork and hardware locations without changing the machine’s original design. Installation Installation is a basic hood replacement job for most DIY mechanics. Remove the damaged hood, keep any reusable mounting hardware, and install the replacement in the same position using standard hand tools; no cutting or major modification should be needed when used on a compatible tractor. .product-description-v2 { font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d1d1d; line-height: 1.55; max-width: 720px; } .product-description-v2 > div { margin-bottom: 18px; } .product-description-v2 h3 { font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; color: #1d1d1d; margin: 0 0 8px; } .product-description-v2 p { margin: 0; font-size: 15px; } @media (max-width: 768px) { .product-description-v2 { font-size: 15px; } }
