A powered riding trowel comprises a pair of releasable, protective, quick access hoods that may be unlatched to quickly expose the power means for service without structural disassembly. In a preferred embodiment, the twin hoods are hinged to the frame. The trowel seat is mounted on an upper planar surface of a releasable shroud disposed between the hoods. The shroud front and rear are preferably removably latched to the frame. Major portions of the shroud and the hoods are formed from rigid, supportive material having airflow pathways for cooling and ventilating the normally protected trowel interior. In an alternative embodiment both hoods are releasably coupled to the frame by spring biased latches.
