oldblue1993 98 #1 Posted September 17, 2022 Hey everyone, just dropping in to say hi and that after all these years the design of the black hood actually makes sense. I never really cared much for this model, till mowing with her tonight and stopped to watch the sun set. All the questions in the world today, this one was answered. I hope you guys are all out there just taking a moment to kick back and enjoy. 4 2 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,597 #5 Posted September 17, 2022 Never cared for the black hoods at first either, then I got one. Needless to say it grew on me quite fast. The "C" series tractors have become one of my favorite's. The flat spot on the black hoods also works great to set your gym bag on while you cruise from the camper to the showers when your at a show. 2 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sailman 1,291 #10 Posted September 17, 2022 The "piece of 67 Vette bumper" will likely make it run faster....... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,324 #15 Posted September 17, 2022 I’ve always loved the black hoods…looking over the hood with those “fins” on top That part of the hood you all wanna chop off would probably make the hood weak, might find yourself adding stiffening parts under the hood. Mine… 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll definitely have more time next year. Pole Barn. New garden area. BBT's daughter's wedding. All done by then ... No major projects after these. 17 minutes ago, Sparky said: That part of the hood you all wanna chop off would probably make the hood weak, might find yourself adding stiffening parts under the hood I wondered about that...
