Lately I've been noticing a term new to me in the ads. Several mention "uncut hoods" and Im not sure what they are refering to. Can someone enlighten me please? Thanx in advance.

Some models of Styled John Deere Tractors, notably the A and B, had the mounting bolts for the muffler, located UNDER the sheet metal. As it was a tight fit (the opening for the muffler) it became becessary to remove the entire hood if you wished to change the muffler. Many, if not most farmers resorted to cutting a larger hole in the hood around the muffler to allow access to the mounting bolts. Some of their "efforts" were none too skilled either. A "properly" restored tractor is one which either has never had the hood cut, or has had the hood repaired so that you can't tell. Most of the "fixed up" rather than "restored" tractors have a "patch" on the hood around the muffler which covers the enlarged opening, but is easy to remove. It is not necessary to restore your tractor to this extreme in order to have a useable, presentable tractor. Having a "hood patch" is no worse than having a yellow seat or black face gauges (on an A or a B)

In order to save time changing a muffler many times the owners cut the hood by the muffler opening to quickly remove the front section for quick replacement.
