Summary:TRACTOR HOOD AIRFLOW SYSTEM Abstract of the Disclosure A vehicle engine enclosure includes a tractor frame which supports an engine. A cooling system is mounted on the frame. The cooling system has a 5 housing which surrounds cooling components. A hood is mounted on the frame and encloses the engine and the cooling system. The hood includes a top panel and left and right hood side panels. The top panel has outlet vents formed therein. A pair of left and right side plates are mounted on the frame. A rear end plate covers a rear end of the hood. A plurality of seals are placed between these 10 components so that a duct is formed which collects hot air and moves it vertically through the vents to prevent re-ingesting of the hot air.
