860 hood front upper support

[Delgriffith]

The hood on my 860 is awfully loose up top. The bottom and rear of it seem to have good solid attachment points but I don't have anything in the upper front to bolt to it. I am wondering if there's something missing on mine or if there's something I need to do to have it more solidly attached. It kind of wobbles side to side more than what I'd expect. I do have the grille removed because there's a loader on it and a cross member that kind of protects the radiator, maybe that's the issue?

Thanks.

Radiator to hood side panel bumpers

See diagram. Works much better than the stick that was jammed in there by the previous owner of my machine!

Mine just attaches at those four points. Two big bolts in bottom front, two smaller ones back by the console. I did get two pads when I replaced the radiator. I kind of thought they were to go under the radiator - some kind of spacers. But they weren't there when I took the old radiator off, so I didn't use them. Now I wonder if they do go on the upper sides of the radiator, like the diagram, and I didn't need to replace those either on mine.

The rear hood has 12 5/16 bolts or studs and nuts and 2 # 10 machine screws.

Not for under the radiator, those are different

Those rubber bumpers must be the deal. I did not see them on disassembly. Thanks!

Check for loose screws holding the sides to the center sections front and rear.
