In a previous post I asked about the "pivot rod lever" located under the radiator and "Paul in Ms" & "Jeff-oh" informed me that it was the hood release. I believe that there is probably more to this hood release than what I have. All I have is a formed rod. Is there more to it than that? I could send a picture of what I have but I don't know how to post a picture on this site. I could send it to anyone that would be willing to send me their e-mail address. Also, if there is more to this hood release than just the formed rod, are those parts available or could they be made? I have access to a machine shop so all I would need is a sketch with dimensions. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You might ought to look at yours real close and study it's movements and see what actually takes place...it might be it is out of adjustment. Mine will work alright from one side, but not from the other. I never worried about it...just used the side that worked. Or...go hunting another Ferguson to look at. Fred OH

To "Fred OH". I studied mine with the hood on and open. It does not touch any thing near the hood to hold it in the open position or release it. It does nothing. If you have one on your tractor, is there something else on the rod below the radiator that latches the hood when it is open. I'm sure that something must be missing on mine. I am a retired mechanical engineer and I can envision how it might work but it would take an additional part and I'm not sure exactly what shape that would take. Thanks.

You should be able to push the lever forward and lock the hood. Jerry

The Hood Latch Assembly which is located under the dash and steering wheel works fine. What I need information on is the Hood Release Lever Assembly that is located on the front of the tractor beneath the radiator. According to other people who answered my previous post, this Assembly latches the hood in the open position so it does not close while a person is performing work under the hood. When you want to close the hood, you must activate the Hood Release Lever. I believe that my Hood Release Lever Assembly is missing one or more parts. As I stated earlier, I have digital pictures that show this Assembly mounted on my tractor and will send it to anyone that thinks they can be of help if they will send me their e-mail address. Thanks.
