How will replacing these parts benefit my mower?

Replacing worn hood bumper and hinge parts stops unwanted hood movement, prevents further wear to the hood and chassis, and restores proper fit and function. The bundled bushing and fasteners ensure a tighter, more reliable hinge than leaving old, degraded components in place.

• Reduces hood vibration and rattling during operation
• Prevents hood misalignment that can cause paint or body damage
• Reinstates OEM-style mounting with matching replacement numbers
