2072 engine sheet metal
 

I am missing some sheet metal around the engine... right? :bigthink: Not sure as I just got the tractor a little over a week ago.

Yep. There is a piece that goes there.

I tossed mine, but, there are some who need the sheetmetal, and some who don't!! :bigthink:

I would think it would be necessary for cooling the engine?

There are many applications of this engine without that shrouding.

Gravely tractors is one of them.

This is a unique application where they were trying to lower noise and increase operator comfort. :bigthink:

I run my mags with out that bottom piece and remove the remote oil lines and put in a screw on filter to the block, dose away with the pesky leaks and oil getting all over the eng.

These parts would funnel all of the cooling air through the grille.
