ABSTRACT:
A composite engine enclosure for a tractor or like power-driven implement is disclosed. The enclosure includes a pivotal upper hood which is movable between raised and lowered positions, and at least one associated lower hood panel which cooperates with the other hood for substantially enclosing the engine of the implement. Each of the lower hood panels is provided with a hinging and latching arrangement to permit either pivotal opening movement of each panel, or complete removal of the panel from the implement, as may be required.
