broken. It replaced the earlier fiberglass hoods, which were aften smashed
but were easier to fix. I did a few on the 955s. The new plastics are
sourced from a plant in the US somewhere, according to the box the new
hood came it. I prefer sheet metal body parts, and I doubt the rental yard
will ever buy any tractor with plastic body panels again. |
You'll find the hood armor parts on the JDparts web site under the 420, 430, & 460 loaders section.
The hoods and side panels are green all the way through while the fenders aren't. I believe they are all made of ABS; but I'm not sure.
