Guys,

I have purchased a grill off ebay for our FFA Raffle tractor, has some work done to get is perfect. Looks great, the question is what is the difference between early h grills and late?? Someone walked in the shop and said "holy crap that is a perfect 38 grill" How do you tell??? The tractor is a 1951, will it work? Would I be better to replace it with correct one or what ??

It is already painted and in perfect shape. but not mounted on the tractor.
 
I think someone is messing with you because they didn't start making them until 1939 and the only difference I know of would be the smaller IH on front of a super H instead of FARMALL likes on the regular H.
 
My Farmall H parts catalog TC-27E shows a change in grilles at s/n 49750 and up. It appears the change is in how the grille is attached to the chassis. Prior to s/n 49750 the catalog calls out four fastener springs secured to the grille with rivets eight places (probably two at each spring location) and beginning at s/n 49750 they are installed with four screws. I thought there might be some difference at the radiator cap opening as the early ones might not have had the "keyhole" type cutout. You might want to do a "pre-fit" of the grille to the chassis to see if the attaching screws will line up and everything looks correct. Best of luck in your project and show us some photos when the time is right, Hal.
 
the early h grills had the dzues fasteners and also the ones before pressure radiators had no slot for the overflow tube.

Exactly. Although the dzus fasteners are not a problem because the holes are in the same place and you can use the bolts instead, but the lack of the slot for the radiator overflow tube is a problem, but that could also be remedied if you are determined enough.
