Working under a heavy tractor hood that won’t stay up or comes crashing down while you’re checking oil levels is more than just frustrating—it’s downright dangerous. If you’ve been propping your hood open with a stick or wrestling with a strut that’s lost its lift, you know exactly what we’re talking about. This replacement gas strut gets your Case CVX’s hood working like it should, holding steady while you take care of business.
What You’re Getting
- Precise lifting force that matches your tractor’s hood weight for smooth operation
- Ball socket connections that snap right onto your existing mounting studs
- Sealed construction that maintains pressure through seasons of field work
- Direct replacement—no modifications or adapters needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This strut is designed specifically for Case IHC CVX series tractors—versatile mid-size machines that handle everything from loader work to cultivation and field operations. Whether you’re running a CVX140 for utility work or a CVX195 for heavier field tasks, this is the same quality strut that came from the factory.
Made to Last
Farm equipment takes a beating from dust, heat, vibration, and constant use, and hood struts are right in the thick of it. This strut uses quality seals and components that hold their pressure and keep working smoothly through temperature swings and the bumps that come with agricultural work.
Installation Notes
Swapping out a hood strut is straightforward, but always support the hood securely before removing the old one—these hoods are heavier than they look. The ball socket ends typically snap onto existing mounting studs with firm pressure. Never try to repair a gas strut—they contain pressurized gas and need to be replaced as complete units.
