Looking for info., # 127 hood?
 

I'm looking to replace the hood on my # 127 for a summer project re-paint & decals. Mine has damage to it at the pivot point when one has to swing it open.

Been searching e-bay, Craig's, etc.. & at times I see other hoods listed from other models but they look like it is the same hood I'm looking for.

Bear with me.:biggrin2:

Just because they look exactly the same I'm sure they would fit? Or would they?

How can I determine how many different models have the same hood?

Hope this makes some sence.

NIK,

The 106, 107, 127, 126, and 147 all used the same hood all others are different.

Wouldn't the 72, 104, 105, 124, and 125 be the same as well, or are they longer? Partstree might help, but I've found part numbers can be different due to decals. You would probably get more responses in the IH section. Try Rich Patton, or any of the site supporters, I'm sure they'll be cheaper than eBay.

They might fit, but they are different. All the ones you listed have a smooth hood. The 1X6/7 series has a design raised/stamped into it.

Ohhh, that hood scoop looking thingy. The lightning bolt series, as I call them, is one that I have never owned and know little about. Thanks for the lesson, I feel a bit more "cub smart". :biggrin2:

Is the 73 hood different from the other tractors in that series?

yeah it's the same as the 72

The vibrations seem to kill all of those hoods at the pivot points.

If you find one that is not cracked or wallered out there, it soon will be after xx hours.

Maybe just weld a thick washer over the hole and save the one you have.

:biggrin2: On my 127, i cut out the damaged section and tig welded in new sheet metal and then tig welded a thick washer over the new sheet metal and it works just fine. :American Flag 1:
