Default New hood hinge

After receiving my grandfather's 129 I noticed the hood hinge was barely hanging on. After a brief internet search I found one for @ $10 plus shipping. Got it in the mail today and installed it tonight.
I was able to remove the hood and lay it on the ground without disconnecting the headlights. The old hinge practically fell apart as I was taking it off. I installed the new one to the hood first. Then lifted it up and held it in place while I put the bolts in the top of the grill.

I did notice that it must have been that way for some time. The hood has grooves where it rubbed on the grill. Probably won't be able to fix it that, but at least it is not loose and rubbing anymore.

Now it no longer vibrates and the gap at the console is perfect. Just need to get new rubber at the console since that is worn too.

Here are some pics:

Wow....$10 isn't bad at all. For that price, no one should have damage from not fixing their hinge! Glad you made that big improvement!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
