When you’re trying to check the oil, add coolant, or do any engine maintenance on your Case CVX tractor, there’s nothing more frustrating than fighting with a heavy bonnet that won’t stay open or keeps trying to fall on you. This replacement gas strut keeps your engine hood opening smoothly and staying securely in place, so you can focus on the work instead of worrying about the hood dropping unexpectedly.
What You’re Getting
- Precise newton rating designed for your specific CVX model to prevent damage or glass breakage
- Heavy-duty sealed construction that maintains consistent pressure through all weather conditions
- Smooth operation that makes hood opening and closing controlled and predictable
- Direct replacement design that mounts to your existing hood brackets without modifications
Built for Real Farm Work
Your Case CVX tractor – whether it’s a CVX120 utility model or one of the larger CVX1195 row-crop machines – puts in serious hours doing everything from loader work to heavy field operations. These tractors need regular maintenance checks, and having easy access to the engine compartment is crucial when you’re dealing with daily inspections, seasonal service, or troubleshooting problems that come up during busy seasons.
Made to Last
This gas strut uses nitrogen gas charges that maintain consistent pressure across temperature extremes, while the sealed cylinder design prevents gas leakage and chrome-plated rods resist corrosion from weather exposure. It’s built to handle the constant vibration and temperature swings that come with agricultural work.
Good to Know
Check the newton rating of your existing gas strut before ordering a replacement, as using incorrect force ratings can result in damage or glass breakage. Installation typically involves supporting the bonnet while disconnecting the old strut and connecting the new one to existing mounting points. Most use ball joint connections that snap into place, making replacement straightforward once you’ve got the hood properly supported.
