I put the polished aluminum grill on today. I called Duane Helman at Rosewood, and he was not keen about taking the grill back...sort of a different tone than Wednesday, and strongly urged to give it a try and if it didn't work-out he would find me one (he was being patient with me). He said take a 2x4 and bend the warp out of it. Not being a metal worker, and not knowing about aluminum flexibility I was hesitant. It took me 3 hours to affix the bracketsalign, level and place it, locate the holes to drill, mark the grill, and drill it out. I then installed one side, braced my legs against the spindles, and pulled the lower right corner out as much as my strenght would give (it isn't much...let me tellya)...but it worked. And as I patiently threaded the bolts through and tighened it, the entire front assembly and grill pulled together nice, tight and even on both sides. As I did this I began to see why Duane was being patient...it worked fine, I just needed to work it out a bit. I'm so ignorant at times it amazes me. Well, with the lights on, the polished aluminum grill on, I have to say...IT IS ONE BEAUTIFUL 9N! i mean, it's beautiful. I can't believe my hands did it. Please don't misunderstand my comments...i'm just very pleased that for once in my life...the effort paid off. It's a nice feeling. Took my three year old, Hunter, on a slow ride down the road to the local farm and he laughed and waved to people the whole way. It was nice. What a nice memory.

9n'er, I have enjoyed following your progress and I am suffering from Tractor-envy. I wish I had the place, time, and money,(ambition isn't an issue), to be able to restore my dads tractor, or mine, both 8N's. I also love working with my hands and having that feelings of accomplishment after all the blood, sweat, and tears goes into it. To stand back and say I did that and marvel at its glory. I cant wait to see it, as they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Don't forget to post a picture of Whimpy along with the Whimpster.

Tractor envious, Tom

GRIN-GRINN-GRINN SMILE-SMILE-SMILE (HOPE YA BRUSHED YOUR TEETH). Ya probably looked like a bantie rooster struttin' around. (SHOWOFF)
Any way congrates and I know you'll enjoy everything about it and the precious moments that have come from it. Kinda like what the women folk say about having a baby - "as soon as it's born the labor pains are gone and forgotten".

Hey 9n'er

I've really enjoyed reading about your restoration. I have 9n4685 that I hope I will be restoring in the near future. I have been gathering parts as I can find but haven't seen a grill. I assume you got it at Rosewood, but could I ask how much it was? Also, do you have a # or address for them? Can't wait to see some pics

Thanks for your help,
Scott

You can take pictures with a regular camera and take the film to WalMart and for an extra $5 they will put it on disk. So for $7-$8 you get a roll of 24 on disk and hard copies.

Maybe, I asked this because I wanted one picture done to put on the net of a vehicle I am trying to sell and they told me only at the time of original development. But then the way WalMart works each differant day and person you ask you get a differant answer.
