Description
There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to prop open your tractor’s heavy engine bonnet with a stick while you’re checking fluids or doing maintenance. When your bonnet gas strut fails, that hefty engine hood becomes a real wrestling match – and a potential safety hazard if it comes down unexpectedly. This replacement gas strut restores the smooth, controlled operation your Massey Ferguson had when new.
What You’re Getting
- Reliable gas pressure support that holds your bonnet open securely during maintenance
- Smooth, controlled closing action that prevents slamming and protects your hood assembly
- Engineered specifically for the weight and geometry of these Massey Ferguson engine compartments
- Direct replacement design that fits your existing mounting points perfectly
Built for Heavy-Duty Farm Work
These struts are designed for the substantial engine bonnets found on Massey Ferguson’s popular 6400 and 7400 series tractors. Whether you’re running a 6460 on loader work, pulling a planter with your 7480, or doing daily maintenance checks on any of these reliable farm tractors, this strut makes engine compartment access safe and convenient.
Made to Last
Farm equipment operates in tough conditions with constant vibration, temperature extremes, and exposure to dust and moisture. This gas strut is built to maintain consistent pressure and smooth operation despite these demanding conditions. The sealed construction protects internal components from contamination while providing reliable support season after season.
Installation Notes
Replacement typically involves supporting the bonnet while disconnecting the old strut from its ball joint mounting points and connecting the new one. Always support the hood properly during installation – these bonnets are heavier than they look and can cause injury if they fall. Test the operation after installation to ensure smooth opening and secure holding when fully open.
