My next door neighbor has an older Deere riding mower, about 18 HP. He's had to do frequent engine work on it and finally decided to take the hood off altogether and drive it without a hood.

Also, all of the late model tractors today have streamlined, aerodynamic hoods. I've never undrstood why this is necessary since they don't run at Talledega and Darlington on Sunday afternoons.
