Brockport Bill 1,660 #1 Posted July 9, 2021 this attachomatic for front of tractor under grill is different than i have seen previously? It has different hook type attachment - can someone tell me what WH models it goes to? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff-C175 7,199 #2 Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) 21 minutes ago, Brockport Bill said: different hook type attachment That's what I've seen on the C series black hoods. The two hooks are the 'stops' that prevent the hood from flopping all the way forward. The hood itself attaches to those two angle brackets, those are the hood hinges.

Brockport Bill 1,660 #3 Posted July 9, 2021 so Jeff you mean as example a C175 ? That raises another question then - does a C175 take a typical atatchomatic, or does it need this style? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff-C175 7,199 #4 Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Brockport Bill said: a C175 ? Yes, that's what's on mine. You need the hooks on the 175 (and I'm sure other blackhoods, but don't have any experience with other models so can't say), but I don't think there's any difference in the geometry of the actual implement attachment part, if that's what you're asking. Without those hooks the hood would flop completely forward. Edited July 9, 2021 by Jeff-C175 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPINJIM 1,981 #6 Posted July 9, 2021 The attachomatics all work the same. The C-**5 series has a longer hood, and so is hinged farther forward. Therefore, the hooks were added to keep the hood from flopping too far forward and doing damage. Jim 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are cool but I really love the transformer look of the original 1978 black hood. By the way, the hood uses a cable attached to the engine to keep it from opening too far forward. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to ditch my 71 for a 105X or even a 125X. But most people want outrageous prices for the 60s tractors, and my boy likes driving the 71, he isn't tall enough to run the 855 yet. 45 minutes ago, cschannuth said: They are cool but I really love the transformer look of the original 1978 black hood.

That thing is probably worth more in pieces than whole though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
