Abstract

A tractor has a front bonnet which houses an engine and a cooling arrangement, the cooling arrangement having a fan, a radiator, and a mounting plate. The bonnet has a hood and two opposing side parts. A grill is positioned at the front of the bonnet through which air passes and enters the cooling arrangement. An extended fan shroud has a lower part which extends from the bottom half of a fan ring in a forward direction and an upper part which extends rearwards from the upper half of the fan ring towards the radiator over the mounting plate. A flange extends from the lower part of the fan shroud diagonally along opposing sides of the upper part and across the upper part of the fan shroud. The flange has a sealing member. When the bonnet is closed and in contact with the sealing member, two air compartments are defined.
