rod on hood driver side

..................................................i would just like to see yall help out the new people on here.

There is no better way to help than to suggest reading the -10 manual.
You ask on a internet forum and you get opinions, you read the operators manual and you get fact.

I don't want to be any where near an old MV when the operator is not familiar with the operators manual.

Page 2-92 of the TM 9-2320-361-10 also talks about the hood. Also if you look at just about any maintenance task in the TM the frist page of the task will list "INITIAL SETUP" this will tell what TM you will need , equipment condition I.E. hood open or parking brake set or if other parts need to be removed frist and it will tell you what TM you find how to do that in. And will give you some general safety instructions for that task.

Read and make notes, I have stacks of pads with notes on, each pad has a title for the topic of the notes, and I am one of the older members both in age and when joined,

LOL, the running joke at my shop is "where's my d**n note pad". I write stuff down then lose the pad.

Many trucks have a stenciled under the hood "secure hood when raised" or something like that.

Yep. Thanks for the post OP, now I know which TMs I need to read and download.

id hate to see the gust it would take to close it.

Its heavy, but got alot of surface area. Makes for one big sail. I live on a windy hilltop and I dont go anywhere under the hood if its not tied back.
