Abstract
An engine enclosure for a tractor that includes a first half of an engine hood enclosing one-half of the engine and a second half of a hood enclosing the other half of the engine. A front grill is pivotally connected at the lower front end of the chasis frame and pivots outwardly and downwardly, allowing room for the subsequent pivoting of the first and second halves of the hood. The two hood sections each have a substantially vertical side section and each have a substantially horizontal dependent top section overlying approximately half the engine. The two hood sections are pivotally attached along a substantially vertical axis to the front center of the chassis frame and pivot outwardly and horizontally away from the engine, exposing the engine.
