I made this one out of 128 parts same as 149. The bottom screen is 2 layers of 1/4 inch masonite (its inside all the time). The top piece I cut the center bar out and added the 2 uprights ( they are 1/2 x 3/4 key stock ). Little filler and paint. I am planning to paint the 2 outer squares of the headlight panel, and use spot mirrors to simulate lights. Dont tell everyone I used to have a one of a kind! HAHA!

Thermoplastics melt when exposed to heat. Thermoset plastics resist heat better. You mentioned QL, I don't know if you are using a QL tractor. The QL moves a lot of heat out of the grill, enough to sag/melt the grill out of a 149.  I wanted a brush resistant grill, I made one out of a piece of heavy steel shelving.  I might even paint a big IH into it!! Some day?

It does look better right side up! This computer thing is not my strong suit couldnt figure out how to turn it. Anyway the bottom grill is 2 layers of 1/4 masonite, just made a pattern, cut 2 out and then laid out the bars on 1 and jig sawed it out, painted them and glued together. My only thing is if it were to get wet probably wouldnt be good. Being a puller its in a trailer or garage all the time, and Im careful washing it. Another thing is it will not flow air so if I were using it on a working tractor I would use something perforated for the back peice. I made 1 out of stainless 1st but liked this look better( more 3D ) Ill have to see if I still have it and post pics of it. Thanks for the compliments!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
