I have an AC712 about a 78 model. I have replaced the hood hinge bolts because I lost one. The holes are not worn. My question - When opening and closing the hood, I have to remove the gas cap/gauge to allow clearance for the the hood to open. Is this just the way it is or what? I have the original and a new replacement cap and both cause the same problem. I think the gas tank is orignal also. At least it looks like ones I have seen multiple times on this site in pictures.

Try moving the tank either forward or back a little. I had this problem and moved the hle tank forward a little and it solved the problem. if you have a tank out of a 7100 series tractor you would have problems as well. The filler neck on the 7100 series is about a inch taller than the 7000 series.
