ABSTRACT:
An enclosure for a vehicle engine, particularly for a agricultural or industrial vehicle, includes a cover such as a hood, a front grill and side shields, to cover the engine and possibly additional vehicle components. The enclosure includes a rigid frame which can be pre-assembled along with vehicle accessories and then attached to a part of the vehicle during final vehicle assembly, at which time the enclosing parts can also be attached. The frame can be attached to the vehicle by means of shock absorbing mounts to reduce the transmission of vibrations and torsion to the enclosure assembly. The frame is supported at essentially three spots to reduce the transmission of torsion to the enclosure assembly.
