ABSTRACT:
The improvement of a hood of a tractor that has a filler neck passing through a neck aperture in the top surface of the hood. The neck aperture is transversely offset from the tractor's centerline. The improvement includes a downwardly projecting trough in the hood's top surface. The bottom of the trough is a major depression that is connected at four brake lines to the top surface by inner, outer, fore and aft sides. The major depression incorporates a pair of run-off apertures, with each run off aperture being adjacent one of the fore or aft sides. The neck aperture is located in the inner side of the trough, while the outer side of the trough contains a grip aperture. The improvement also includes a seal which resiliently and sealably connects the filler neck and the inner side of the trough. The improvement further includes a downwardly projecting hand grip that is sealably secured to the outer side of the trough in the grip aperture. The hand grip base is a primary depression with fore and aft ends connected by a surface that is substantially parallel to the tractor's centerline. The primary depression contains a pair of drain apertures that are each adjacent one of the fore or aft ends of the primary depression.
