The new old grill arrived today and it appeared to be in good shape as advertised!  It has dzus fasteners to attach it to the chassis so if information on the web is correct it came off an earlier model H.  Apparently after serial number 49750 the grills were attached with four screws, which is how the present grill is attached.  Also, the serial number of this tractor is 111816.  As promised here are a few pics of the new grill: 

 

That's Agate checking things out.  He turned 33 this month and is still hanging in there (along with his back - and no, he's not ridden anymore).  The grill is just sitting in place and hasn't been attached - I just wanted to see how it looked.  Pretty good I'd say and it still has an open "mouth" at the bottom for Renae and Lani to feed it.  I'll get the insert that fits in that mouth at some point down the road. 

The carburetor kit hasn't arrived yet.  Hopefully it will tomorrow as I'd like to take a crack at getting her running this weekend.  For anyone wonder what the heck a dzus fastener is, here's a picture:
