<p>A double pivoting tractor hood assembly includes a tractor hood (14), hood latch (62), and a mounting bracket (22) assembly which is attachable within a tractor engine compartment. The bracket assembly includes a movable plate (34) with a hinge mounting surface (41) and a bracket latch (43). The movable plate (34), and the hinge mounting surface (41), is pivotable between a lower, latched position and an upper, elevated position. A hinge (55) is attached between the hinge mounting surface and a top rear edge of the tractor hood (14). The hood (14) can thus be moved to a tilted position when the hood latch is released, and then to an elevated position once the bracket latch is released. <IMAGE></p> |
