How to remove the hood on an X500?

[Dogwalker10]

How do you remove the hood on an X500? It looks almost like it should lift off.
Thanks,

First off, you need to buy you a JD X500 owner's manual, as it will show how the hood is removed. But, I will give you a couple hints. Raise the hood from the instrument panel and where it "hinges" in front you will see two brackets. BTW: unplug the headlight connector...second hint. Now, left hood from those two brackets... third hint.

Usually you just lift the hood, then pull out 'n up. But some are bolted on....:newhere:
