I was going to put a new screen/curtain assembly on it but the side support castings on the radiator don't even have holes drilled for one. Almost all unstyled B's I have seen have a screen or shutters or the holes to mount one. My tractor also has a gasoline manifold instead of a tractor fuel manifold is that original? This tractor was only used until the early 1970s and then parked which made me wonder if the manifold was original but the casting number on the manifold is gone. My tractors serial number is 25303 is there any way to find out who originally bought this tractor and where? [Reply]   [No Email]

My 35 B has the screen on it and it mounts on the four corner bolts that fasten the radiator together. Hope this helps. Gordy [Reply]  [No Email]

My radiator has the holes but the screen I bought attaches to 4 existing bolts in the assembly. Fortunately the bolts did not break when I installed the screen. Mark [Reply]  [No Email]

Also, that casting number is not in the parts book. [Reply]  [No Email]
