I don't have the parts book on the grill for the OS-4 but it has been my observation that many of the sheet metal parts are interchangeable between the Farmall lines and similar McCormick or Intrnational products. Sometimes the difference is only in the holes. That would be holes for lights, badging, guages, mufflers, bolts, etc. You should compare the two side by side. I am guessing that the H hood will fit and be correct with minor changes. The Defense Reutilization Program has been overhauled in the past ten years. It has been privitised and new policies have been implemented. Previously, surplus property was first offered to other Federal agencies followed by free transfer to interested state and local governments. The residue from this disposal was available to private citizens and businesses after competitive bidding at local auctions, silent bids, or catalog sales. Much of that material bypassed this program and was put into mothballs at the end of WWII or was simply signed over to friendly govts. Isreal and a number of Latin American countries received alot of it. With the possible exception of military dogs and horses, I doubt if any property passed to individuals without the recipient placing and winning a competitive bid at a govt sale.
