Bar Nuthin 2,664 #1 Posted July 15 (edited) I'm picking up a couple of buckets full of old tractor lights off of marketplace - low and behold, the guy has this cast iron grille for sale. I'm guessing it's one heavy SOB! Can anyone tell me what years/models this was available on? Edited July 15 by Bar Nuthin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Nuthin 2,664 #4 Posted July 15 (edited) I'm guessing they never go bad - which may explain why he's not been able to sell it. I suppose I could get it engraved and repurpose it for my headstone. Edited July 15 by Bar Nuthin 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gt14rider 1,248 #7 Posted July 16 1969 open grill, 70,71,72,73 were closed. Weights about 60 lbs, if I remember correctly. Helps keep front end down. Protects fuel tank too. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 20,885 #8 Posted July 16 Anyone with an open grill GT-14 might want it to protect the hard to find plastic gas tank 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely not something you'd want to pay shipping on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Nuthin 2,664 #10 Posted 14 hours ago (edited) I always thought the reproduction headlight lenses looked pretty good even though they're overpriced. But... Seeing this broken original makes me sad. Edited 14 hours ago by Bar Nuthin 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 67,485 #11 Posted 6 hours ago Much like the plastic dash and tunnel covers on the GT-14, the headlight covers shrunk, or the tractor outgrew them! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexR 3,069 #12 Posted 2 hours ago That lense is still usable with the headlight mod as the only part i kept was the center. Especially with the chrome horse head those are harder to find. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed that the back side is stamped with perfect detail of the emblem. I think it could be used to create a mold of some sort. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
