Abstract
An engine cooling structure comprises a hood enclosing an engine and defining air inlets and an air outlet, a radiator disposed rearwardly of the engine, a cooling fan disposed forwardly of the engine for drawing cooling air and exhausting the cooling air forwardly. A closed cooling duct system extending from the air inlets to the air outlet is formed by the hood, a guide plate for guiding all incoming air flows to the radiator, and shielding plates extending from a forward body frame and sealing an engine room from below. The cooling air flows through the radiator, past the engine and through the cooling fan.
