My hood was a direct replacement from deere, it's was green and the dealer painted it prior to install. Tis is what the original owner told me and he is a deere employee since 1975 and he bought this sled new, said the original hood cracked at the hinge area.

I finally got the seat back tonight, tried a local guy and not impressed and will be sending it to john after the season ends this year....live and learn, worst part is this guy did the interior of a car for country singer Alan Jackson, sleds are not his thing. :beers; .....I am fussy.
