Has anyone ever had one of the flip top dash covers that had a working closing knob? I have yet to see one. Every one of mine that is a sore spot. None work like they should. Another peeve is the battery location on the 170-175 tractors. Not as much as location, as what is involved in replacing one. Especially with a loader. Thanks, Tracy

I have never seen a flip top dash cover. I didn't know they existed. Were they original equipment or aftermarket?

170 and 175 only. As an old dealer, I've been around many and they always seemed to work for me.

Tracy, Yeah battery location is not the best. It is closer to engine starter which helps for shorter cables. I've used shorter height style battery in the 170-175s, which can allow a little more space up top for attaching/detaching battery cable terminals.

My grandfather bought this 175 in 1978 when it was a year old.  I grew up on the tractor, and that latch never closed properly.  Over the years, the hood and cowl had been removed numerous times - no difference.
When I restored the tractor in 2015, surprise surprise, the latch actually closes now!  I can't explain it and I don't know what I did.

The triangular shaped (viewed from either side) sheet metal cover that wraps over top the dash gauges & secures to the hood out front of the dash with a twist toggle. All the 100 series tractors have them(170,175,180,185,190,200,210?,220?,160s is integrated into hood??). Believe the 190s has 4 stove bolts securing theirs? I don’t know about rest.
Anyway this cover (only on the 170s?) has two studs that are located to the side of the gauge clusters & about half way down front the top of it. There’s enough spring tension inherent of the 90 degree bents of the cover which keeps the studs inserted into receptacles (welded washers? on each side of gauge cluster. So the twist toggle is the only securing piece for cover. If it doesn’t catch & hold then dash cover will be loose??

7060: only the 170 and 175 use this cowl. All the other models are bolted in place - my 185 and 190 are secured with a number of bolts.
If it isn't latched, it will not go anywhere but will vibrate against the hood, with a slight rattle coming from the wing nut latch. To answer your question, yes, the "twist toggle" is the only thing that secures the cowl to the hood. It sits on pins on either side, but the "springiness" of the cowl keeps things snug along the sides.

That latch is a POS from my perspective. It should of had a good spring under the locking pin to hold it tight. Slightest amount of wear allows it to loosen and vibrate like hell. JMHO, Tracy

Look at my picture above.  It's the black panel that sits on top of the hood.

Maybe this will clarify?



Looks like I need to retract my earlier statement about it not working right. It acts as it should now but there was a time when the wing bolt would not engage the slot properly

Thank you! Had no idea there was such a thing. My 220 has a similar cover but it's  held on by screws.
