2. NEW HOOD DESIGN
2.1. Early 1000 and 1500 Series tractors used a variety of steel hoods and side panels. Later ones
resembled those used on the 2000 and 2500
Series tractors.
2.2. The hood presently used on the 1000 series
tractors is a molded 1-piece design.
See Figure
2.2.
2.3. The 1000 Series hood opens from the back.
See Figure 2.3.

hood closed.

• Lifting the hood off of the tractor.
2.5. The hood used on the 1500 Series tractors for
2005 and 2006 is more substantial than that
used on the 1000 Series. It is a one-piece
molded design very similar to the one used on
the much larger 5000 and 6000 series tractors.
See Figure 2.5.
