Hood hinges on 855

kimodc · Dec 30, 2007

Hello, first time poster but have been reading and enjoying for a while now. I do need some help figuring out just how the hood mounts on my 855. I was excited to pick up an 855 W/ 70 FEL that needed a little TLC. The hood was just sitting loose and every way I position the brackets it just won't sit right. I am tired of wrestling with it and any help would be appreciated, maybe even a picture showing how the four brackets mount to the underside of the hood itself. Thanks
Kim

Thanks kennyd, that should work. My rods are a different shape then the ones pictured, but I will see if it mounts up properly. Thanks again!

There are two different serial # ranges listed, I just picked on at random. You can register at JDParts yourself if you want, or I can see if I can help more. A picture of your setup may help also...

The hinges are kind of different on that tractor.

My hinges don't like to lift up.
I have to push forward and wiggle as I lift or they will bind up.
(The hood moves forward as it rises to clear the grill area.)

I can get you a pic but it may be a week or two.

Good Luck,
Glenn

Pictures would be great! I have tried according to the pictures off jdparts and it still won't sit right. Pictures of the real deal just might be what I need!
