8ntruck 7,826 #2 Posted November 9, 2021 They are air cooled. If you add sides to the hood, you will need openings to get cool air into the engine and the hot air out. You making a Wheel Horse for orchard duty? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 72,587 #4 Posted November 9, 2021 Seems I've seen a pic or two of similar in the past. It is an interesting look. Eye catching simply because it's different. As stated it can be done... The fan side and PTO side MUST be left open to have the ability to breathe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snoopy11 5,718 #7 Posted November 9, 2021 If you are going to do this... I would cut a hole in the sheetmetal on the flywheel side and run a small electric fan... A 6 inch fan will do just fine... https://www.amazon.com/American-Volt-Electric-Radiator-Tractor/dp/B01E52MCS6 Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
