Description

Nothing’s more frustrating than trying to hold up a heavy tractor hood while you’re checking engine oil, topping off fluids, or doing basic maintenance. When your hood gas strut starts losing pressure, that 200-pound hood panel becomes dead weight that wants to slam shut on your hands or head. This replacement hood gas strut restores proper support so your Case CVX tractor’s hood stays up safely while you work.

What You’re Getting

Precise pressure rating engineered specifically for CVX series hood weight and balance
Smooth, controlled lifting action that won’t jerk or bind during operation
Reliable support that holds the hood securely at full open position
Ball socket end connections for easy installation on existing mounting points
Sealed construction that maintains consistent pressure through temperature changes

Built for Real Farm Work

This strut is designed specifically for Case CVX tractors including the CVX140, CVX150, CVX160, CVX175, and CVX195 models. These are working tractors that see daily use in demanding agricultural operations—from field prep and planting to harvesting and loader work. Easy hood access is essential for routine maintenance like checking belts, filters, and fluid levels that keep these machines running strong.

Made to Last

Farm equipment operates in demanding conditions with constant vibration, temperature extremes, and exposure to dust and moisture. This gas strut is designed to maintain consistent performance despite these challenging conditions, providing smooth operation and reliable door support season after season. The sealed construction protects the internal mechanism from contamination while the quality materials resist corrosion and wear from daily use.

Installation Notes

Replacing a gas strut takes minutes but requires careful attention to safety. Support the door securely before removing the old strut – these doors are heavier than they look. The strut typically attaches with ball socket ends that snap onto mounting studs. Clean mounting points thoroughly and check for wear. Always support the hood with a hood prop or helper before removing the old strut—you don’t want it dropping unexpectedly.
