The Husqvarna 505738101 Gas Shock Hood is a genuine OEM replacement designed for the SoffCut5000 early entry saw. As an authorized OEM component, this part is built to Husqvarna's exact specifications, ensuring a direct, hassle-free installation with no modification needed to fit the original mounting points. DHS Equipment supplies this part to help keep your SoffCut5000 operating at full capacity on the job.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Gas Strut Specification — manufactured to Husqvarna's exact pressure and extension ratings for the hood assembly, ensuring the strut holds position reliably under repeated use.
- Direct Hood Mount Compatibility — engineered to connect directly to the SoffCut5000's existing hood bracket hardware with no rework or adapter required.
- SoffCut5000 Early Entry Saw Fitment — purpose-built for the SoffCut5000, confirming accurate cross-reference against your machine's parts diagram using part number 505738101.
- Restored Hood Control — a functioning gas shock holds the hood firmly open during blade changes and inspections, keeping hands free and the work area safe.
- Safe Access Assurance — a failed or weak gas shock allows the hood to drop unexpectedly during service; replacing this component promptly restores safe, controlled access to the blade guard area.
The gas shock on the SoffCut5000 hood assembly is a spring-loaded strut that holds the machine's hood in the open position during operator access, blade changes, and routine inspection. When the shock loses pressure or the rod seal degrades, the hood can drop without warning, creating a hazard during servicing. Replacing this component with the correct OEM unit restores the controlled, stay-open function the hood relies on and ensures the strut's travel length and end fittings align precisely with the factory mounting points.
