You rarely need to "open" (remove) the hood on these tractors to preform any routine service work.
Hello to all - it's been awhile! Need some simple info on a JD 2150

Ditto unlike new tractors fuel & air filter on JD 2150 can be changed with hood in place.

Most of the older tractors were serviced from the sides with little need for hood removal.
New tractors require hoods to open and are still harder to service.

I have a 91 JD2155 so I think this should apply.. On the sides of the tractor up towards the front are side screens that allow air to the radiator, but keep out major dust. lift the lever located in the center of the screen & then the screen will loosen and then you can left them off. Same on both sides. Behind those & up towards the front of the hood you will see 2 rubber straps that sit in metal "cups" undo those & you can then lift up the hood from the front. I had to stand on the cross bar of the FEL. and it helps to open the side panels below the dash that get you access to the battery, so they are out of the way.
To close it, the hood sits in "u" shaped hooks back by the dash up top, plus side channels (by the battery doors) that are curved and there is a gas type piston in the center up top next to the fuel fill hole. If your hood is bent & dented up like mine, don't open the hood as it took me & my wife, about a half hour to get all the hooks, pins, slots, to align just right to get the hood to close correctly. I only opened it to add coolant, & hope to never open it again, next time it is low, I may trade it in, it's that much of a pain in the a**.
I hope this helps, if you have any further questions I can try to take pics for you, just shoot me a message.

On my 2030, the coolant fill is cap on top of the hood. I have only removed the hood to install the missing front emblem and to do a split that required the temp sensor be removed from the head of the engine.
