2.4. The 1000 Series hood can be easily removed:
See Figure 2.4.
• Disconnect the headlight wires
• Release the retaining springs
• Align the bolts in the hood with the slots in the
hinge.
• Lifting the hood off of the tractor.
2.5. The hood used on the 1500 Series tractors for
2005 and 2006 is more substantial than that
used on the 1000 Series. It is a one-piece
molded design very similar to the one used on
the much larger 5000 and 6000 series tractors.
See Figure 2.5.
• It opens from the front.
• A pair of gas charged cylinders provide lift assist.
See Figure 2.5.
2.6. A new spring-loaded latch was added to hold the
hood closed. See Figure 2.6.
