FLIP MFG. AM132688 AM132529 Lower Upper Hood fits John Deere LX 255 277 280 288 GX 255 325 335 GT 225 235

Be careful on install, be careful mounting it. It looks good and it was easy to get on my mower. Go ahead and order some polish and a polishing wheel if your back fenders are faded so it'll all match. When you open and close this hood do it feom the sides by the steering wheel. It fits snug and doesn't vibrate around.

My garden tractor is 16 years old. As I found out when I hit a woven wire fence, the plastic hoods were quite brittle with age. They shattered on impact. I didn't just barrel into the fence but the damage was done. Anything that comes from John Deere comes with sticker shock. Knowing that, I found this dealer and after much soul searching, I ordered the hoods. Would they really fit, being a copycat item. Yes, they did. Now for a bit of advice that others have said. SAVE ALL YOUR SCREWS. I also suggest you hang on to the damaged parts to see how it goes together once the new hoods arrive. Don't throw anything away until you are ready to put it all together. Of course, I'm more thickheaded than most, so this suggestion may not apply to you. One thing that I didn't like was that they did not offer the replacement filter that fits on the lower hood. If they do have it, I never found it. I did find it from a different supplier. Be prepared to spend around 100 bucks for this filter. I considered it highway robbery, but there again it had John Deere stamped on the filter. Another note of caution...be sure to align the new filter exactly right before setting it on the hood. There is no way you can move it once even a little of the filter is touching the hood. I had no problem with it, but just be careful. I thought it all turned out great. Now, to stay clear of that naughty fence.

This is a nice replacement upper and lower hood for a john deere gt235. I had damaged my hood on a 20 year old john deere gt235, figured I would give this one a shot.I t was a perfect fit,everything lined up perfectly .looks like the original...made this 20 yearold tractor look new again....highly recommend if you are wanting to replace your hood.

Hood had been damaged (small crack at the corner) during shipping, contacted Flip and they shipped replacement next day.

Replaced hood assy on John Deere GX335 in about an hour using only a 10mm socket. Transferred grill (4 bolts) and assembled loosely to allow fitment before tightening. Transferred foam air filter and glued to new hood. Installed top assembly (4 bolts) and put on tractor after plugging in headlight connector. Perfect fit for a fraction of the OEM part. Recommended.

Hood sure was not inexpensive but if fit perfectly and looks good. I purchased Deere stickers separately and the tractor looks 10 years newer!It's a shame Deere couldn't work with Rubbermaid to make a long life hood. My old hood just cracked to pieces as it aged - even though it was kept indoors. New Deere tractors seem to have the same hood style.

The parts fit my JD LX280 perfectly making for an easy swap. It was complete, including the baffle for the dust filter. I had to return the first kit I ordered because that was missing. Remember to save the parts from your old hood. Could not be more pleased. Now I just need to put the decals on.

This fits out 235GT, and makes the mower look brand new! The old hood was cobbed together with wood and was missing the sides (we purchased like that from an auction), now we have a hood! the price is high, but when you look at the price of a brand new JD brand hood, this hood is worth the money.
