Default 86 hood springs

Guys I'm trying to get my 86 hood matched up to the console, and I can't figure out what is going on with the springs on either side of the pedestal. The way they are if I push the hood down on them the back end of them lifts up and against the back side of the console cover. I'm trying to figure out if they are installed wrong, or damaged or what. They just don't make sense to me they way they are. I looked in the wideframe manual but couldn't find anything. I also looked up on parts tree but they aren't illustrated. Thanks

You may have to bend the tabs that stick out or move the hood back slightly.Most times you have to make sure the springs are as far down on the side of the dash tower

Can someone explain how they work? I've never figured them out either. Maybe I'm overthinking it?

Ok, i've got it right here, these are hood hold down springs? Close the hood & lift up the back part behind the console & latch them into the tab? Gotta be to keep hood from rattling?

Yep that's how they work.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
