When you’re trying to check fluid levels or clean the radiator and your hood won’t stay up, you know how frustrating it gets wrestling with a heavy piece of metal that wants to slam down at the worst possible moment. A worn-out hood strut turns routine maintenance into a dangerous situation where you’re either propping things up with blocks or risking injury from a falling hood. 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 gas pressure that holds your hood securely without being too stiff or too weak
- Direct replacement that mounts to your existing hood brackets with no modifications needed
- Quality seals and components built to maintain lifting power season after season
- Ball socket connections that snap onto factory mounting studs for easy installation
Built for Real Farm Work
This strut fits the Case CVX series tractors—those dependable mid-size machines that handle everything from loader work and cultivation to planting and harvest operations. Whether you’ve got a CVX120 running around the farmyard or a larger CVX1195 pulling heavy implements, these tractors see plenty of daily use where easy hood access makes all the difference for routine maintenance and service.
Made to Last
Farm equipment takes a beating from dust, heat, cold, and constant vibration, and hood struts are right in the thick of it. This strut is built with quality seals and components that maintain their lifting power through seasons of use, so you don’t have to worry about it failing when you need engine compartment access most.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward—just remove the old strut and connect the new one to the existing mounting points. Always support the hood securely before removing the old strut, as these hoods are heavier than they look. Never try to repair a gas strut—they contain pressurized gas and need to be replaced as complete units.
