A hood for earthmoving machines, such as a backhoe, includes a top panel and two side panels extending beneath and on opposite sides of the top panel to form a substantially upside down U-shaped shell resting on a frame of the vehicle to close the engine compartment of the backhoe. The side panels extend substantially parallel to a vertical centerline plane of the vehicle and are hinged to the frame of the vehicle to rotate, about an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the vertical centerline plane of the vehicle, between an open position in which the side panel is located over the top panel to permit access to the engine compartment, and a closed position in which the side panel is located beneath the top panel to close the engine compartment.

The children's vehicle of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a biasing member adapted to urge the arm assembly against the handle assembly. 11. The children's vehicle of claim 1, wherein the contact region is part of a bucket latch, which is attached to the arm assembly. 12. The children's ride-on vehicle of claim 1, wherein the bucket defines an opening through which objects may be inserted into and removed from the bucket, and further wherein the bucket is configured so that the opening faces generally away from the vehicle body as the arm assembly is moved between the plurality of arm positions. 13. The children's ride-on vehicle of claim 1, wherein the bucket is rigidly coupled to the arm assembly so that the bucket is not moveable independent of the arm assembly. 14. The children's ride-on vehicle of claim 1, wherein the arm assembly is configured to extend forwardly from a front region of the vehicle body. 15. A children's ride-on vehicle, the vehicle comprising: a vehicle body defining a passenger region with a seat adapted to carry a child; a ground traveling structure attached to the body; a drive assembly coupled to drive the ground traveling structure; and a bucket assembly, comprising: a handle operatively coupled to the body and moveable about a first axis; an arm assembly wherein the arm assembly is mounted for cooperative movement with the handle, the arm assembly adapted to be selectively moveable between a plurality of predetermined positions, including a lowered position and at least one raised position; a bucket attached to the arm assembly; at least one pinch relief mechanism which is adapted to extend between the arm assembly and the body when the bucket is in the lowered position to maintain a spaced relationship between the arm assembly and the body; and a stopping assembly adapted to restrain movement of the arm assembly beyond the predetermined positions, wherein the stopping assembly includes a stop positioned on one of the arm assembly and the body configured to contact a stopping surface on the other of the arm assembly and the body when the arm assembly is moved beyond the predetermined positions. 16. The children's ride-on vehicle of claim 15, wherein the stopping assembly includes a stop on the arm assembly, the stop contacting a lower stopping surface on the body when the arm assembly is in the lowered position. 17. The children's ride-on vehicle of claim 15, wherein the stopping assembly includes a stop on the arm assembly, the stop contacting an upper contacting surface on the body when in an uppermost one of the at least one raised positions. 18. The children's vehicle of claim 15, further comprising at least one pinch relief mechanism attached to the arm assembly and adapted to contact the body when the arm assembly is in the lowered position, wherein the pinch relief mechanism is adapted to maintain a spaced relationship between the arm assembly and the body when the arm assembly is in the lowered position. 19. The children's vehicle of claim 15, further comprising at least one pinch relief mechanism attached to the body and adapted to contact the arm assembly when the arm assembly is in the lowered position, wherein the pinch relief mechanism is adapted to maintain a spaced relationship between the arm assembly and the body when the arm assembly is in the lowered position. 20. The children's vehicle of claim 15, wherein the handle has a grippable portion and a locking portion, the locking portion disposed between the body and the arm assembly and adapted to selectively retain the arm assembly in each of the plurality of predetermined positions. 21. The children's vehicle of claim 20, wherein the arm assembly has a contact region with at least one detent, wherein the locking portion of the handle is adapted to receive the detent to selectively retain the arm assembly in each of the plurality of predetermined pos
