The grill is most likely original in a late model '53 as someone mentioned earlier. I was going to ask Guy Fay about this in an entry today until I saw this string. I just bought a late '53 SM on ebay that has this grill. I wondered about it myself. I was trying to get a tractor close to what my dad bought new. He claims he bought a '54 SM. Maybe he did, they did make them in Jan '54 just prior to the SMTA. More likely, it was a late '53 that he PURCHASED in '54. Back then, if you bought a new tractor in what-ever year, then by golly it was that year tractor. Anyway, I looked at a picture of dad's SM. Sure enough, it had the SMTA grill without the holes punched. I hate to assume, but based on that picture of dad's tractor, I assume the "blank, hole-less" grill is factory correct for late '53 SMs and most likely, late stage I SH's. My two-cents.
