The hood
The I-series hood uses the same hood pivot sys-
tem as the 1000 series for easy removal.
To remove the hood:
1. The hood is front-hinged. See Figure 4.1.
2. Open the hood by lifting the rear edge to tilt it for-
ward.
3. Disconnect the headlight wires. See Figure 4.2.
NOTE: The ground terminals and power termi-
nals on the headlights are two different sizes.
The green wires (ground) fit the larger terminals.
The red wires (power) fit the smaller terminals.

4. Cut the wire tie that secures the headlight har-
ness to the hood. See Figure 4.3.
5. The hood hinges on a pair of shoulder bolts on
each side that fit into slots in the hood bracket.
6. The hinge travel is limited by the top shoulder
bolt that fits into a channel in the hood bracket.
7. Open the hood far enough to align the tabs with
the slots, then lift the hood off of the tractor.
See Figure 4.5.
