LT46 face lift?
 

I have a random question. I was set on getting the new 13AQA9TTA10 model LT46 because I liked the way the hood looked, but ended up getting a cheaper 2019 model temporarily. The 19 has a cracked front grille and side panels that I'll be replacing, as well as some other scuffed parts. I was wondering if it's possible to just replace the whole hood assembly with the newer model.

It looks like the 2019 components are:

• Left and Right Side Panels
• Hood Frame
• Hood Top
• Front Grille
• headlight lenses
• Light Harness

Does the hood pivot in the same location? It uses the same pin. In my mind, if there are no other major changes between the tractor other than the cosmetic ones, I should just be able to replace old parts with the new style ones, and everything should fit like factory.

The parts list for the 2022/23 look to be:

• Left and Right upper side panels
• Left and Right lower side panels
• Hood Frame
• Hood Top
• Front Grille
• Left and Right Hood top
• Light harness

Just a thought
