RAParts E4NN94201N18AA Gas Door Strut for Ford New Holland - Reliable

In this review the RAParts E4NN94201N18AA gas door strut is evaluated for tractor owners who need a direct replacement for worn or broken door supports. The bottom line: this aftermarket strut is best for Ford/New Holland models because it matches the original mounting style with ball and socket end fittings and provides a precise piston stroke and length for a correct fit. Our review finds it straightforward to install and dimensionally accurate for the models listed, making it a practical choice when an OEM strut is unavailable or costly.

Key Features

• Overall length: 200mm overall length delivers the exact reach needed where the factory spec calls for a 200mm part, avoiding improper fit or binding.
• Piston stroke: 65mm piston stroke provides the intended door travel and damping so the door opens and closes smoothly without overextending.
• Cylinder size: 18mm cylinder diameter offers sufficient body strength for typical tractor cab door loads while staying compact.
• Rod thickness: 8mm rod diameter ensures solid push/pull action and resistance to bending under normal use on listed tractor models.
• End fittings: Ball and socket both ends match original mounting points for fast swap-in replacement without modifying brackets.

Who It's For

This gas door strut is intended for owners and technicians working on Ford and New Holland tractors listed in the product description, including older models from the mid-1980s through the 1990s that require the specific 200mm length and ball-and-socket ends. It suits DIY maintenance, farm mechanics, and service shops that need a cost-effective aftermarket replacement that fits the cab door mounting arrangement.

Those who should look elsewhere are operators needing a heavy-duty higher-capacity strut for unusually large doors or modified cabs, and buyers who require a part with a different end fitting style or nonstandard dimensions; this part is purpose-built for the dimensions and mounting type shown.

Pros & Cons

Are the end fittings compatible with factory brackets?
Yes, both ends use ball and socket fittings intended to match factory mounting points for straightforward replacement.

Is this a heavy-duty upgrade?
