using an old tractor grill for other uses

DJL · Mar 12, 2012

Not trying to start any type of issue here, but I"ve got a couple of old, beat up tractor grills laying around, too far gone to put on a restored tractor. Anybody ever use these for anything else then their intended use? I"m thinking shop or home office decor. I"ve seen them used before to hang on a wall with stereo speakers mounted behind them. Anyone else use them for anything like this? Any other ideas?

Rat rod builders use them quite a bit. They tend to like "well-used" grills.

I've seen old grille surrounds, or radiator frames hung on the wall with shelves in them to display small items.

Put them up on the shop wall for wall art. Did that with the first grill off of my 79 Dodge 3/4 ton. A stock cow's rear end got in the way of the pickup, that's why the grill is on the wall, but that's another story!!It's a REAL metal grill. Four old Chrysler hub caps are up there too along with the front of a cupola off my great-grandparents barn, with their name on it. Jim

Cut in half, paint up and use for wall art in shop. Thats what my son does with old Case cowls and grills!!

We haven"t got a chance to do it yet but our plan is to mount an air conditioning A coil and fan inside an old grill in the shop. Could do the same thing with heater ducting.
