Hi All
I have a problem with the hood on a John Deere 350D haul truck. The hood won't open. Can hear the linkage moving when the latch handle is pulled but it won't open. Thinking one of the ball & sockets on the linkage fell apart.
Any ideas on how to get it open? Thanks.

You can drill a hole in the hood and manually release it. You will then have to buy a plug for your hole. Contact your local dealer there is a written instruction on it.
