Some fit and some don't the last one I brought is about 1/4" short length wise (20 1/4" should be 20 1/2") were it mounts in the dog legs. Its luck of the draw if you can not measure it before you pay for it.

I was a little apprehensive but I ordered one yesterday for my 8N. I can let you know how it is when I get it.

Measure it and let us know if you got lucky. I have sold about 10 two out of the bunch were short :evil: They are not original but close and for the money a deal.

I've used restoration quality grills before and they seam to be as near to original as possible, fit well, and are made at least as heavy. If that is what the seller is selling, then $46 is a steal especially with free shipping (almost unbelievable). Not worth messing with an original for that price. Must be getting one heck of a quantity discount from the manufacturer.

idid! As a matter of fact after the first arrived I immediately ordered another! I have a pair of 51 8ns that I'm fixing up not for show but for me....I was impressed! I m no expert like you guys but I can tell you Hobo that it measures 20-1/2 " from the top rail to center of lower mounting hole! The weight of it is 9.2lbs as opposed to the original that weighs 10.2.It also has oval rods and overall is in my non expert opinion worth every penny. I was going to buy one and try to fix the original on one tractor that's missing a rod but glad I saw this.....Del unless you are building a trailer queen I think you'll like it!

I was going to try to save my old one but for 46 bucks and free shipping I ordered one too

I would guess that this is the one that they're talking about:

New Ford Tractor 2N 8N 9N Restoration Quality Radiator Grill 8N8204 + Free Ship

(reply to post at 06:47:02 02/12/17) [/qu. That's the one (or two) that I bought .......and another positive is that it came from Mi to Pa in like two days! FREE! How can you beat that?

I was like you, very impressed with the grill I bought. I too ordered another one just for a spare.
