Description
Nothing’s more frustrating than trying to prop open a heavy tractor hood with a stick while checking your engine oil or troubleshooting an overheating issue. When these struts start losing pressure, your heavy bonnet becomes a real struggle to lift and won’t stay up safely on its own. This replacement gas strut brings back that smooth, controlled operation you remember from when your TS series was new.
What You’re Getting
- 685mm length with 300mm ram travel gives you the exact lifting power and control your TS series hood needs
- Heavy-duty sealed construction maintains consistent pressure through temperature swings from cold winter mornings to hot engine bay conditions
- Smooth operation means your bonnet opens easily and closes in a controlled manner – no more slamming hoods
- Direct replacement design snaps into existing mounting points without modifications or adapters
Built for Real Farm Work
This gas strut fits a wide range of popular tractor models including Ford New Holland 40 series (5640-8340), 60 series (8160-8560), TM series (TM115-TM190), TS series (TS80-TS115) – those reliable workhorses that handle everything from daily chores to heavy field work. Whether you’re running hay equipment, doing loader work, or just trying to keep up with routine maintenance, proper hood support keeps you safe and makes the job easier.
Made to Last
Farm equipment takes a beating, and bonnet struts are right in the thick of it – constantly exposed to engine heat, vibration, weather, and the occasional bump from loader buckets or tree branches. The 900 Newton rating provides the strong lift assistance needed to handle these heavy bonnets easily while ensuring controlled closing that won’t slam shut unexpectedly. This strut is engineered to handle thousands of open-close cycles without losing its effectiveness.
Installation Notes
Installation typically involves supporting the bonnet while disconnecting the old strut and connecting the new one to existing mounting points – most use ball joint connections that snap into place. Make sure to test the bonnet operation after installation to ensure it opens smoothly through its full range and holds position securely when fully open. Always support the hood manually during the swap – it’s heavier than you think and can come down fast once that old strut is disconnected.
