It depends on who sold the Deere as to how expensive a new hood may be.  If
its a John Deere Dealer Sold tractor yes its gonna cost. But if its a Big
Box Store Deere it may be cheaper than you might expect. 
Reason is the Big box store Deeres and Cadets and others are not actually a
true rep of the name brand. Most are MTD built with license from the  Name
brands to decorate as such. So the parts are less expensive then the name
brand on the hood may lead you to think.
  If you are looking for a pretty, hidden, non noticeable repair thats gonna
be tough. But if cosmetics are not as important as function then a metal
patch is likely to be the way to go. Thats 
probably what I would do. Paint it green to blend in.          Mark
