Black hood question

[slammer302 2,154]

The hood on my c-85 when opened up it goes all the way to the ground is this the way its supposed to be or is there supposed to be a stopper or something?

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,040]

There should be a thin round rod in the front tach o matic which acts as a stop and is missing. Should be the same on most. 

[slammer302 2,154]

Thanks I will take a look when I get off work

The black hoods have 2 kinds of hinges, unlike the C series style there most likely is tabs that should catch the lower hinge but are bent or worn away, also if the hinge holes are worn it will not hold the hood in alignment, I've had a few that do as yours.

Were the thin rod is supposed to make contact and stop the hood is worn away

The first pic was taken standing along the engine on the right side. The second was a close-up on

the right side bracket.

 

 Here ya go Slammer. I just took these pics from my C-85. As you can see there are 2 brackets, one

on each side. They are bolted on, not welded. If you work with metals they look very easy to make.

I could take one off and trace it if you want. They are the same.

 

Hope this helps!!

Ya know there is another bracket attached to the hood AND it's attached to the other bracket. You may need both.

[slammer302 2,154]

I think so I will try to get a pic of what I have going on

[Butch 194]

The parts I have circled are called "bracket hood supports". Part number is 108588

 

The second part I talk about that is attached to the hood is called a "bracket hood

pivot". There are two and they are different. The left side part number is 108590.

The right side part number is 108589.

[slammer302 2,154]

I think the tabs are not even there

[Butch 194]

I think the tabs are not even there

There are only 2 parts to each side. One part attaches to the tractor frame and the other piece attaches to the hood. If these

are the parts Kelly may have them used for you.

[slammer302 2,154]

If you can get sum close up pictures and sum ruff measurements I probably can just make sum

[Butch 194]

Tomorrow I'll take one side off and trace them and take measurements.

[slammer302 2,154]

Thanks

There are also some bushings on those pivot bolts I believe

[Butch 194]

Mike. You're right. There is one on each side. Part number is a 108599 bushing and the places I checked show it's discontinued.

I guess you can come up with something else to work.  I'm gonna see if I can get a copy of the manual and post it here.

[Butch 194]

Slammer do you have access to a fax? I can fax the info to ya and the size of the drawing

should be exact. You won't need a bushing if you use a larger size bolt and drill one hole

bigger. You can figure it out.

 

[slammer302 2,154]

Yeah I will send you the # in a pm

Sent

[Butch 194]

Did ya get the fax?

[slammer302 2,154]

The fax machine is at my shop I haven't been over there yet

[ol550 827]

If you don't want to make your own, I have all the parts.

[slammer302 2,154]

If I don't have a set made by the mid mo meet and greet might get them from you

[oneroadkingman 53]
