They were better than the piano hinge from the 129/149 series IMO.

Mine has two nuts welded in place of the rusted off corners.


I don't think the notch on the hood looks bad, at least it fits.


Speaking of hood notching, what really peeves me off is when someone takes a letter series row crop Farmall (M, H) and cuts the hood out to put in an alternator. Converting it from 6v to 12v is another pet peeve story....
