Sweet ... this is actually the best "true" photo I have seen with a complete grill Farmall H Grill.

I didn't understand the rails along the inside screen on mine by looking at it ... now I do. Someone has braised the one I have and I hope I can get it apart without destroying it. Heat'r up and work it apart I guess.

You had also added a fabricated lower bracing ? .. I had seen that someplace, where someone offered a step by step to mold this simple piece and I cannot begin to remember where that was ... you did that ?

What would you charge to make one?

Are you painting the screen red ?

Curious minds ...

That looks really sharp. I think the grille on any letter series is the heart and soul of the tractor. It's the first and last thin people look at. If it is shoddy, then I usually don't look any further. After the bodywork lay on a nice coat of epoxy primer. That will insure no rust will ever work it's way up. Then start laying on lots of primer surfacer, and lots of sanding between, until the last sanding with 360, you can run your hands over the whole thing and never feel a ripple. Helps to wet it down and look for imperfections when it is glossy. Then a prepsol wipedown, tackrag, and spray the colorcoats.
