Being a frugal sort, (NH wants $17 plus shipping)anybody got an alternative for the clip that holds the hood prop rod in place against the hood on a 5000 when the hood is closed?

Thanks

Soundguy...pretty much, but it seems to be a spring steel (looking at my other Fords), and I'd like it to grab the rod, not just have it lay in there.

Brendan got me thinking...I i know car parts places sell replacement clips for car prop rods...may have to look through their racks, see what they've got.

off the shelf prop rod holder may just work for you.

otherwise I think you can make it work with some scracp sheet metal folded so that it retains the rod.
 
Parts site shows the current part number as 81807462. Partspring.com claims to have 25 of them in stock for $20.00 a piece. When partspring shows a large number of them in stock like that, it usually means that it should be available from any New Holland dealer.
 
Try making one from steel pallet banding material. That stuff does break when you bend it too far though.
