BX HOOD LATCH FIX

[retired plowman]

Got sick and tired of the hood latch that needs a small dozer to move, I put a bolt in the jaws of the latch. no problem, no latch hood looks fine. I don't know why the latch anyway, unless your going to go the highway at 80-90 mph with the tractor sitting backwards on your trailer then it might keep the hood from opening.

Mine was was very difficult to open until I figured out pushing down on the hood and then sliding the lever was a game changer. Opens easily every time now.
