Description
There’s nothing more frustrating than a cab door that slams shut when you’re trying to load supplies or a rear window that won’t stay open for ventilation during a long day in the field. When your gas struts start losing pressure, you’re fighting gravity every time you try to open a door or window. This replacement strut restores smooth, controlled operation to your International Harvester’s cab, making your daily operations safer and more comfortable.
What You’re Getting
- Nylon end fittings on both cylinder and rod ends for smooth, reliable connection
- 11.22-inch overall length with 3.622-inch piston stroke provides proper support range
- Sealed construction maintains consistent pressure through temperature swings and field conditions
- Direct replacement design fits existing mounting points without modification
Built for Real Farm Work
This strut works on a wide range of International Harvester utility and hydro series tractors, from compact models like the 238 and 248 perfect for loader work, up through the powerful 800 series machines pulling your biggest implements. These tractors are the workhorses on countless farms, and their cabs are your office during long working days.
Made to Last
Farm equipment takes a beating from constant vibration, temperature extremes, and exposure to dust and moisture. This gas strut is built to handle thousands of open-close cycles without losing effectiveness or developing leaks that would compromise window or door operation. The sealed design keeps contaminants out while maintaining proper pressure season after season.
Installation Notes
Always support the window or door before removing the old strut – they’re heavier than you think and can drop unexpectedly. The nylon ball socket ends should connect with firm pressure to existing mounting studs. If you’re replacing one strut, consider doing both sides to ensure balanced operation and prevent uneven wear on hinges.
