Description

When you lift the hood to check fluids or work on the engine, there’s nothing worse than fighting with a hood that won’t stay up or worrying it’ll slam down on your head. A worn bonnet gas strut is dangerous and makes routine maintenance a wrestling match. This replacement strut restores safe, smooth operation so you can focus on the work instead of holding up a heavy hood.

What You’re Getting

225mm length with 75N pressure rating sized perfectly for Maxxum hood weight and balance
Smooth operation that holds the hood securely at full lift—no more propping with tools or scrap lumber
Ball-socket end fittings that snap right onto existing mounting points
Nitrogen gas charge that maintains consistent pressure through temperature swings
Direct replacement design—no modifications or brackets needed

Built for Real Farm Work

This strut is designed specifically for Case IHC Maxxum tractors in the 5000 horsepower range—utility tractors that handle everything from loader work to field cultivation. Whether you’re checking oil before hay season, changing filters during planting, or troubleshooting hydraulics, these machines see daily maintenance that requires safe hood access.

Made to Last

Farm equipment takes a beating, and hood struts are no exception. This one’s built with quality seals that resist dust and moisture, plus a corrosion-resistant finish that holds up to everything from diesel spills to winter road salt. The gas pressure stays consistent whether it’s a frosty morning start or hot afternoon in the field.

Installation Notes

This is a straightforward swap—just pop off the old strut and snap on the new one. Support the hood before removing the old strut, as it’s heavier than you think once the gas pressure is gone. Clean the ball stud mounting points while you’re at it to ensure a secure fit.
