    Yep. Pretty much decided this last trip to get one ordered. I dodged suicidal cows in Nevada, elk again in Idaho and Wyoming, and several hundred mulies between Gillette and Williston.

    Gonna see if my local guy can beat 4 states prices Monday.

    If I recall correctly they are who I bought it from. I called the manufacturer for details but don’t believe they would sell it directly to me.

    Anybody got any info on aftermarket hoods?

    I've been told Jones Performance is as good a fit as OEM.

    I've only ever ordered one aftermarket hood, and it was for a Classic. The customer wanted cheap, and it was, but fittment was a nightmare.

    Cletrac did. Holt had basically a set of handle bars in a sense.

    Holt was before Caterpillar, but 1 of 2 companies that were merged creating caterpillar….

    I doubt anyone would wear a suit to work in either. But Mr. Ferguson always wore a suit when displaying his tractors with his new invention the hydraulic 3 point hitch….

    I got a trp hood from Kenworth in salt lake City about 2 and 1/2 years ago for $3,000. All fiberglass and really no different than a Jones Hood

    The Ford/Ferguson story and that 3 point hitch is pretty good. Another story of Ford screwing someone over.
