Offended at the thought of spending around £55 + postage on a pair of grills for the Power Major....
One cardboard template, one old screen from some washing plant, a slitting disc on the grinder, some Fordson Orange and a couple of hours later....
I think they quite look the part

Thanks Salvador.
I know some purists will argue about the colour, but I had the orange in my shed!

If you need grills (chaff screens) to keep bits out of your radiator, on a working tractor, thats fine. If you are restoring the tractor to be like an original I would pay the £55!

These look really good. Just like the originals, done in the true spirit of restoration make do and mend! They are a real credit to you.
