Abstract
A snow removal machine of this invention has a machine body, a snow removing section mounted on the machine body for removing snow while the snow removal machine travels along a ground surface, and a running section mounted on the machine body for undergoing movement to cause the snow removal machine to travel along the ground surface. An engine is mounted on the machine body for driving the snow removing section. An oil filler supplies oil to the engine. A fuel cock opens and closes a fuel line supply to the engine. A spark plug ignites a fuel mixture within the engine. A cover has a first cover portion and a second cover portion. A connecting structure connects the second cover portion to the first cover portion to cover the engine, the oil filler, the fuel cock and the spark plug and allows disconnection of the second cover portion from the first cover portion to expose and provide access to the engine, the oil filler, the fuel cock and the spark plug.
