A double pivoting tractor hood assembly includes a tractor hood, hood latch, and a mounting bracket assembly which is attachable within a tractor engine compartment. The bracket assembly includes a movable plate with a hinge mounting surface and a bracket latch. The movable plate, and the hinge mounting surface, is pivotable between a lower, latched position and an upper, elevated position. A hinge is attached between the hinge mounting surface and a top rear edge of the tractor hood. The hood can thus be moved to a tilted position when the hood latch is released, and then to an elevated position once the bracket latch is released. A pair of gas springs bias the hood toward the tilted position, and then the hood is biased toward the elevated position from the tilted position to allow unencumbered access to all components within the engine compartment.
