Keep the radiator clean

its time to start mowing grass and weeds.
just a reminder, you must keep the radiator clean and watch the temperature gauge.

one of the best options you can buy for your tractor is a front grill screen.
this screen will collect the dead grass weed debris before it gets into the radiator.
I have had this screen since this tractor was new, 1957, worth its weight in gold.

last year my friend ruined the motor on his Ferguson 135 by not watching the temperature gauge,
he had no grill screen, the front of the radiator was completely cover in debris.

cost him more than the value of the tractor to have the motor rebuilt.

just a heads up, you have to continually watch the temperature gauge on these old tractors when working in loose dead weeds and grass.

The screen on my tractor was a dealer installed option, originally it was painted green and had Ferguson painted in scrip across the screen,

I suspose you could ask the dealership if they still sell front screens check on eBay
 
Do you know what the part # is for that screen
I went to Steiner tractor web Site and got on chat with a person
I told them I needed a Grill Screen for my Ferguson TO-30
the person said they do not having any that would that tractor.
 
I saw they had the clips and screens for the 8N's, so I guess I assumed they had the same for the Ferguson.

Might buy the ford 8n screen and see if it could be modified,

Also, Lumber co or hardware store that has a storm window repair shop might could make you a screen if you give them the grill dimensions,
 
I just ordered one off of this site, Yesterdays Tractor
had one that looked pretty close to yours.
Thanks for all the help
