SMTA Grill Replacement

Wayta · Aug 30, 2008

I am arranging a complete restoration, and I mean restoration, on an SMTA. The only tin needing replacement is the grill, not the bonnet.
OEM is not producing these anymore. Any help?
Would buy both grill and bonnet, new replacement one or a real fine used.

oemtractorparts.com is making the grill, although I am told they are considering discontinuing them very soon.

I spoke with OEM on Thursday and there are none available. Undoubtedly, there was a defugalty that caused them to discontinue.

In that case, I'd say get ready to take out an equity line on the ol' homestead for an original....

You really didnt miss a whole lot by not getting an OEM reproduction. Poor fit.....don't ask me how I know this.

Post a wanted ad in the Classified Ads on the left to try to find a good used grille, or I see them on eBay sometimes.
