Hood to Frame Interference on TS Series Tractors:

On some occasions, it has been reported that the initial mount kit designs involving the installation of the current A-Boom or Machete Boom mowers to New Holland TS90, 100 or 110 tractors allowed the main frame cross over / cooling tube to interfere with the movement of the hood. This interference would not allow the hood to open to provide access to the required maintenance points of the tractor engine.

To compensate, the hood was required to be completely removed to perform the required maintenance procedures.

A spacer kit which lifts the frame to provide clearance between the hood and the cross / cooling tube enough to allow the hood to open to the first position is now available for all of the affected tractors.

The kit components should be installed per the instructions provided in the kit. likewise, all required hood components such as hinges, shocks & etc. should also be installed
