[AJD] M grille

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

A friend of mine did rework and install an MT grille on an M. He didn't complain too much more 
than usual so it must have gone okay.

For what it's worth, tell him to not feel too bad. The M grille is on my list of top 10 all 
time hard to find items, they're just super tough to locate.

>A friend has an M that he purchased new in 1952. His health is rapidly failing and his son 
wishes to cosmetically restore the tractor as it still is really good mechanically, never any 
major repairs. But the grille on it is for a 40. Someone borrowed the tractor back in the 
1960's and destroyed the original grille. They bought a 40 grille as a replacement. The son is 
searching for good M grille with not much success. The M grille is part #AM 1960T. The MT is 
#AM 1880T. My question is whether the grilles are identical except for the hole in the 
vertical center of the MT grille. If so, the hole could be filled and the grille could be used 
for the M. That would expand the possibilities for finding a grille. If a grille is located, I 
will let him do his own negotiating and purchasing.
