Description

Nothing’s more frustrating than fighting with a hood that won’t stay open when you’re trying to check your engine oil or troubleshoot an overheating problem. When your bonnet gas strut starts losing pressure, what should be a simple daily check turns into a wrestling match with a heavy hood that wants to slam shut. This replacement strut brings back that smooth operation and reliable hold you had when your tractor was new.

What You’re Getting

550mm length with 205mm stroke gives you the exact lift assistance these hoods need
510 Newton pressure rating delivers just the right amount of support without being too stiff
Heavy-duty sealed construction keeps working through temperature swings and weather
Ball joint mounting points snap right into your existing brackets – no modifications needed
Smooth, controlled operation makes hood opening effortless and closing safe

Built for Real Farm Work

This strut is engineered specifically for the 4-cylinder engine hoods on John Deere 20 and 30 series tractors. Whether you’re doing morning checks on your 2030, seasonal maintenance on your 2130, or working under the hood of your 3040, this gas strut makes engine compartment access safe and convenient. It’s especially valuable if you do your own servicing or need frequent access for troubleshooting.

Made to Last

Farm equipment takes a beating, and hood struts are no exception. This one’s built with internal sealing that maintains proper pressure through cold morning startups and hot engine compartment conditions during operation. The construction handles the constant cycling and environmental exposure that comes with daily tractor use.

Installation Notes

Before ordering, double-check your existing strut’s Newton rating – using the wrong pressure can damage your bonnet mechanism or make it operate poorly. Installation involves supporting the hood while disconnecting the old strut and snapping the new one into place at the existing mounting points. Always keep the hood supported during installation to prevent it from dropping unexpectedly.
