An engine cover having a feature that macro aligns the engine cover to the engine to quickly orientate the engine cover for correct assembly is provided. The features allow the installer to align the engine cover by touch. The locating lip is a macro feature formed integrally with the engine cover. The system includes an engine cover, a body attached to and extending from the engine cover. The body has an outer surface and an aperture for receiving a mechanical fastener. The aperture is formed through the outer surface. A locating lip extends outwardly from the outer surface. A doghouse feature may be formed on the engine cover. The body may be in the shape of an elongated tower that is attached to and extends from the doghouse feature. The locating lip is defined by a wall. The wall may be a ring-shaped wall or may be a semi-circular wall.

An engine apparatus includes an engine, an exhaust gas purification device, an outlet side bracket, and an inlet side bracket. The exhaust gas purification device is mounted above a cylinder head to extend along an axis of an output shaft of the engine. The inlet side bracket is configured to couple an exhaust gas inlet side of the exhaust gas purification device to the cylinder head. The inlet side bracket includes a first bracket, a second bracket, and a third bracket. The first bracket is configured to be secured to a surface of the cylinder head intersecting the axis of the output shaft and includes a wide width. The second bracket includes a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The third bracket is configured to be coupled to an end surface of the exhaust gas purification device and the distal end portion of the second bracket.

An engine block clamp assembly is provided. The engine block clamp assembly may comprise an engine block clamp frame configured to clamp around the axially outward edge of a silicone insert. The silicone insert may comprise a series of apertures configured to removably receive external engine tubes and electrical harnesses. The engine block clamp frame may comprise a tabbed clamp half and a slot clamp half. The tabbed clamp half may have a tabbed end and a mounting end. The tabbed end may comprise a tabbed hinge. The slot clamp half may comprise a slot end and a mounting end. The slot end may comprise a slot. The tabbed hinge may be configured to operatively fit within the slot to couple the tabbed clamp half to the slot clamp half.

A tractor including an intake pipe for supplying intake air to an intake unit of an engine body, and an engine harness for electrically connecting the engine body and an engine controller to each other. The intake pipe is provided with a rib formed along the longitudinal direction of the intake pipe, and the engine harnesses is partially supported by the rib.

A coolant collector bracket including a front side, a back side, and a top side is provided. The back side is opposite the front side and includes a plurality of coolant inlets for receiving coolant from a cylinder head. The top side includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler inlet and an EGR coolant outlet. The EGR coolant inlet and the EGR coolant outlet are substantially orthogonal to the plurality of coolant inlets.

An engine has an ATD that purifies exhaust gas. The engine is provided with an engine body, a support base, a front-side support bracket, and a rear-side support bracket. The support base supports an exhaust gas purification device. The front-side support bracket is mounted to the engine body and is disposed on one side of the engine body, and supports the support base. The rear-side support bracket is mounted to the engine body and is disposed on a side opposite to the front-side support bracket with the engine body therebetween, and supports the support base. The front-side support bracket has a vertically-mounted boss mounted in the vertical direction with respect to the support base. The rear-side support bracket has a horizontally-mounted boss mounted in the horizontal direction with respect to the support base.

A cover for an internal combustion engine is configured to be attached to an engine main body so as to cover a timing chain or a timing belt. The cover for the internal combustion engine includes insertion holes configured to receive a crankshaft or a camshaft. The cover for the internal combustion engine includes a first member made of a hard plastic and a second member made of a material different from the hard plastic. The first member is produced by insert molding with the second member embedded in the first member. A periphery of at least one of the insertion holes in the second member includes a joint surface that is joined to the first member. The joint surface includes annular grooves surrounding the insertion hole, the annular grooves being arranged in a radial direction of the insertion hole.
