Hi Everyone, I’m new to the Zone, I just bought an M715 #10777 and have dived into the rabbit hole of my new project.

Can anyone share pictures of their front hood area hold down mechanisms? The parts manuals don’t describe this in great detail, but I know I am missing the hold down bolt attached to the front which engages the mechanism under the hood, as well as parts from the mechanism part attached to the hood. Right now all I have are side latches and my hood is flapping like crazy.

Any recommendations for that bolt size would be appreciated too.

I’ve read some posts on using FSJ replacement mechanism, it looks like I can do that, I just need to know how that mechanism engages the body.

Thanks everyone!
