I'm looking for a replacement hood, CC party number 759-04137A.
Greetings, I have a 2007 Cub Cadet GT 2550. Remove the center plug covering an air vent in the top of the hood, this will let much more hot air ventilate out of the hood. And also clean the foam pre air filter and air fan area as well as the whole engine after every mowing. This helps with keeping the engine running cooler. I had to replace my hood also, but not for overheating issues. The plastic broke where the henge mounts to the hood. Those hoods are very expensive. I didn't replace the decals because they are also expensive. Hope this helps.Thanks, guys.
The hood melted while mowing a couple years after I purchased the mower. It's the famous, engine exhaust meltdown routine that's plagued this model and others since CC started using plastic hoods. I have the 2006 with the new heat shield, but it was a hot day and the exhaust wreaks havoc on the plastic components.
I want the kit because when one purchases the hood and decals, they are only just a bit cheaper. I'd be tickled if I could find a used one.
Warranty issues were useless since the shop I purchased from sold to another fellow who couldn't care less, unless I want a new mower, of course. Unfotunately for CC, this will be my last CC. Other than the hood and shredding belts with deck height set on higher settings, it's been a good tractor.

He probably doesn't even have the tractor anymore after 12 years..... but maybe help someone else.Greetings, I have a 2007 Cub Cadet GT 2550.
