1. A work vehicle comprising: a main frame including an engine compartment;an engine located in said engine compartment; anda cooling system for removing energy in the form of heat from said engine and transferring that energy to air, said cooling system comprising: a rotating fan apparatus comprising a fan and a motor; anda cooling assembly comprising: a heat exchanger for transferring energy in the form of heat from a coolant fluid circulating through said engine to air forced through said heat exchanger by said fan apparatus; andfilter structure positioned adjacent a first side of said heat exchanger to filter the air before the air passes through said heat exchanger, said filter structure comprising a support frame and at least one filter element held by said support frame, said support frame maintains said filter element at an angle relative to vertical;wherein said motor effects rotation of said fan in a first direction to pull air from said engine compartment through said filter structure and then through said heat exchanger to remove heat from the coolant fluid. 2. The work vehicle as set out in claim 1, wherein said filter element comprises a mesh screen. 3. The work vehicle as set out in claim 1, wherein an upper portion of said filter element is spaced a first distance away from said heat exchanger and a lower portion of said filter element is spaced a second distance away from said heat exchanger, said first distance being greater than said second distance. 4. The work vehicle as set out in claim 1, wherein said motor is capable of reversing direction so as to effect rotation of said fan in a second direction to force air through said filter element to force debris off of said filter element. 5. A cooling assembly and rotating fan apparatus for use in a work vehicle including the rotating fan apparatus comprising a fan and a motor, the cooling assembly comprising: a heat exchanger for transferring energy in the form of heat from a coolant fluid to air passing through said heat exchanger;filter structure positioned adjacent a first side of said heat exchanger to filter the air before the air passes through said heat exchanger;first seal structure located between said filter structure and said heat exchanger to seal an interface between said filter structure and said heat exchanger;a fan shroud associated with the rotating fan apparatus and positioned adjacent a second side of said heat exchanger; anda second seal structure located between said heat exchanger and said fan shroud;wherein the motor of the rotating fan apparatus effects rotation of the fan in a first direction to pull air from an engine compartment that includes an engine of the work vehicle through said filter structure and then through said heat exchanger to remove heat from the coolant fluid. 6. The cooling assembly as set out in claim 5, further comprising connecting structure to couple together said filter structure, said first seal structure, said heat exchanger, said fan shroud and said second seal structure. 7. The cooling assembly as set out in claim 6, wherein said connecting structure comprises at least one spacer provided with a bore, a bolt passing through said spacer bore and a nut, said bolt extending through corresponding bores in said filter structure and said fan shroud while said spacer is located between said filter structure and said fan shroud. 8. The cooling assembly as set out in claim 5, wherein said filter structure comprises a support frame and at least one filter element held by said support frame. 9. The cooling assembly as set out in claim 8, wherein said filter element comprises a mesh screen. 10. The cooling assembly as set out in claim 9, wherein said support frame maintains said filter element at an angle relative to vertical. 11. The cooling assembly as set out in claim 10, wherein an upper portion of said filter element is spaced a first distance away from said heat exchanger and a lower portion of said filter element is spaced a second distance away from said heat exchanger, said first distance being greater than said second distance. 12. The cooling assembly as set out in claim 8, wherein said filter structure further comprises a third seal structure located between said support frame and said filter element. 13. The cooling assembly as set out in claim 5, further comprising a main frame seal structure adapted to be located between said fan shroud and a main frame of the work vehicle. 14. A work vehicle comprising: a main frame including an engine compartment;an engine located in said engine compartment; anda cooling system for removing energy in the form of heat from said engine and transferring that energy to air, said cooling system comprising: a rotating fan apparatus comprising a fan and a motor; anda cooling assembly comprising: a heat exchanger for transferring energy in the form of heat from a coolant fluid circulating through said engine to air forced through said heat exchanger by said fan apparatus;filter structure positioned adjacent a first side of said heat exchanger to filter the air before the air passes through the heat exchanger;first seal structure located between said filter structure and said heat exchanger to seal an interface between said filter structure and said heat exchanger;a fan shroud positioned adjacent a second side of said heat exchanger; anda second seal structure located between said heat exchanger and said fan shroud;wherein said motor effects rotation of said fan in a first direction to pull air from said engine compartment through said filter structure and then through said heat exchanger to remove heat from the coolant fluid. 15. The work vehicle as set out in claim 14, wherein said cooling assembly further comprises connecting structure to couple together said filter structure, said first seal structure, said heat exchanger, said fan shroud and said second seal structure. 16. The work vehicle as set out in claim 15, wherein said connecting structure comprises at least one spacer provided with a bore, a bolt passing through said spacer bore and a nut, said bolt extending through corresponding bores in said filter structure and said fan shroud while said spacer is located between said filter structure and said fan shroud. 17. The work vehicle as set out in claim 14, wherein said cooling assembly further comprises a main frame seal structure located between said fan shroud and said main frame. 18. The work vehicle as set out in claim 14, wherein said filter structure comprises a support frame and at least one filter element held by said support frame. 19. The work vehicle as set out in claim 18, wherein said support frame maintains said filter element at an angle relative to vertical.
