Description
Nothing’s more frustrating than a hood that won’t stay shut or pops open while you’re working. If your Ford’s hood has been acting up—rattling down the road or needing a bungee cord to keep it closed—chances are your front hood catch bracket is worn out or broken. This essential part keeps your hood secure so you can focus on the job at hand instead of worrying about what’s flapping around up front.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty bracket designed to handle the constant vibration and stress these tractors dish out
- Precise fit that aligns perfectly with your existing hood latch mechanism
- Durable construction that won’t bend or break under normal farm use
- Direct bolt-on replacement—no modifications needed
- Works with the rear catch bracket (part 41180) to keep your hood properly secured
Built for Real Farm Work
This front catch bracket fits the workhorse Ford tractors that built modern agriculture—from the compact 2000 and 3000 utility models perfect for hay operations and loader work, up to the bigger 5000, 6600, and 6610 tractors that handle the heavy lifting on row crop and livestock operations. These are the tractors you see everywhere because they just keep working.
Made to Last
Farm equipment takes a beating, and hood hardware gets its share of abuse from bouncing down rough farm roads and the constant opening and closing that comes with daily maintenance checks. This bracket is built to handle that punishment without loosening up or breaking when you need it most.
Good to Know
This is the front bracket—you’ll also want the rear catch (part 41180) if both ends of your hood need attention. Installation is straightforward with basic hand tools, but make sure to align everything properly before tightening down the bolts. A properly adjusted hood catch should hold the hood secure without requiring excessive force to latch.
