ECOTRIC Upper Hood Replacement for John Deere LT Series - Unpainted AM132530 Durable Fit

ECOTRIC Upper Hood Replacement is a durable, OEM-compatible replacement hood for multiple John Deere lawn tractor models, designed to restore fit and appearance where part AM132530 is required.

If your John Deere LT series tractor has a cracked, faded, or missing upper hood, this ECOTRIC replacement provides a strong, unpainted hood molded from impact-resistant plastic. Manufactured to match the original hood's dimensions and mounting points, the panel slides into existing brackets and bolts for a clean, factory-style fit. This product ships as the single hood piece; installation hardware and instructions are not included so you can use your tractor's original fasteners or source replacements separately.

Which John Deere models will this ECOTRIC hood fit?

This hood is engineered to be compatible with a broad range of John Deere LT and LTR tractors that originally used part number AM132530. It fits tractors with the same hood mounting layout and dimensions.

• Compatible models: LT133, LT150, LT155, LT160, LT166, LT170, LT180, LT190.
• Also fits rear-discharge variants: LTR155, LTR166, LTR180.
• Designed to match factory mounting points for straightforward replacement.

How strong is the material and what finish does the hood have?

The hood is produced from high-quality, flexible plastic that resists cracking under normal use and light impacts. It arrives unpainted so you can color-match or prep it to your preference before installation.

• Heavy-duty plastic construction for durability and slight flexibility.
• Unpainted surface—ready for primer, paint, or custom finishes.
• Manufactured under strict quality control to ensure consistent part geometry.

What is included in the package and will I need extra parts?

The package contains one ECOTRIC upper hood replacement only. It does not include mounting screws, brackets, or printed instructions, so reuse your tractor's existing hardware or buy compatible fasteners if needed.

• Package contents: 1 upper hood replacement piece.
• No hardware or installation manual included—original tractor fasteners typically work.
• Consider measuring your hood mounting points before purchase to confirm fit.

How difficult is installation and what tools are typically required?

Installation is usually straightforward for anyone familiar with basic tractor maintenance. Removing the old hood and bolting the replacement into place generally takes common hand tools and about 30–60 minutes with one helper.

• Typical tools: socket set, screwdrivers, and possibly pliers.
• No special adhesives or welding—mounts align with factory points.
• Having a second person helps for aligning and securing the hood safely.

Who is this for: This ECOTRIC upper hood replacement suits homeowners, landscapers, and small property managers who own compatible John Deere LT/LTR tractors and want a cost-effective way to replace a damaged or worn hood. It’s ideal for users who plan to refinish the hood themselves or who already have the tractor’s original mounting hardware. If you expect a painted, ready-to-install assembly with new fasteners included, plan to source painting materials and mounting hardware separately.
