John Deere X300 Hood Adapter – Replace with Craftsman Hood | 3D Printed Brackets

Tired of cracked John Deere hoods?

John Deere X300 hoods are notorious for becoming brittle and breaking when left outside. Instead of replacing it with another expensive plastic hood, this 3D-printed adapter lets you attach a durable Craftsman hood (mostly metal) to your John Deere X300 using the factory hinges. It’s a long-lasting, budget-friendly solution that keeps your mower running and looking good.

🔧 Installation

Includes left and right side adapter prints.

Reuse the original John Deere hardware to mount the adapters.

Craftsman hood will need a ¼-20 bolt hole drilled on each side.
