Description
Nothing’s more frustrating than trying to check your oil or coolant levels when your hood won’t stay up on its own. If you’ve been propping up your bonnet with a stick or watching it slam shut unexpectedly, it’s time to replace that worn-out gas strut. When these struts start losing pressure, your heavy bonnet becomes a real struggle to lift and won’t stay up safely on its own. This replacement gets your hood operating smoothly and safely again.
What You’re Getting
- Proper lifting force to raise your bonnet easily and hold it securely open
- Smooth, controlled operation that won’t let the hood slam shut unexpectedly
- Heavy-duty construction built to handle the weight of your tractor’s engine hood
- Direct replacement designed specifically for your John Deere 50 and 51 series models
Built for Real Farm Work
This gas strut fits a wide range of John Deere 50 series tractors from the compact 1350 up through the bigger 2850 models, plus the 51 series 3351 and 3651. Whether you’re running a utility tractor for daily chores or using one of the larger models for field work, this strut handles the substantial engine hoods on these workhorses that put in long hours year after year.
Made to Last
Your bonnet gets opened and closed constantly for routine maintenance – checking fluids, changing filters, or troubleshooting problems. With proper Newton pressure rating, it provides the strong lift assistance needed for these heavier engine hoods. The sealed construction maintains consistent pressure through temperature swings and the vibration that comes with heavy-duty farm work.
Good to Know
Installation involves supporting the bonnet while swapping out the old strut for the new one. Replacing a gas strut takes minutes but requires careful attention to safety. Support the door securely before removing the old strut – these doors are heavier than they look. Most attach with ball socket ends that snap onto existing mounting points. Always check that the bonnet opens smoothly and holds position after installation.
