Description
There’s nothing quite like wrestling with a heavy tractor hood when you’re trying to check oil or access the engine compartment. If your John Deere’s hood gas strut has lost its pressure, you know exactly what we’re talking about—that hood gets pretty hefty to lift and even trickier to hold up safely while you work. This replacement gas strut with 900 Newton rating and 355mm length gets that hood opening smoothly and staying put right where you need it.
What You’re Getting
- Strong 900 Newton force rating provides the right lifting power for these older hood assemblies
- 355mm overall length with proper ram extension matches your original strut exactly
- Durable sealed construction keeps consistent pressure through temperature swings and field conditions
- Direct replacement design mounts to existing pivot points without modifications
Built for Real Farm Work
These struts fit the John Deere 50 and 55 series tractors from the 1550 up through the 2355N—reliable workhorses that were built when tractors were simpler but still needed to get serious work done. Whether you’re running a 1750 for hay work, using a 1950 for loader duties, or keeping a 2155 busy with field cultivation, this strut handles the daily hood access these machines require for maintenance and service.
Made to Last
Gas struts need proper Newton ratings to work safely—too little pressure and the hood won’t stay up, too much and you risk damaging the hood hinges or latches. This strut’s built with quality seals and construction that maintains its 900 Newton rating through years of regular use, handling the vibration and temperature changes that come with tractor life.
Good to Know
Check the Newton rating on your old strut before ordering—it should be stamped right on the cylinder. Installation is straightforward with the right tools, but always support the hood securely before disconnecting the old strut. The ball joint ends usually just pop off with a little persuasion, and the new one snaps right into place.
