Mitsubishi D2500 front grill

[Barry70Stang]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know where I could find a front grill for a D2500? Mine has basically fallen apart from hard years of service on the hunting lease. I'm sure buying a new one is out of the question, but surely there is one old parts tractor sitting in someones yard somewhere that is just screaming my name!!.

Thanks,

Barry

I was faced with same problem on a MT180.
Forget a new one, just not available.
Fortunately I had all pieces and used a hot glue gun to stick everything together and then backed the repaired area with shaped soft aluminum strips.
Next I fabricated a grill guard, as I should have done earlier. Lesson learned.

Looking at yours, I'd be tempted to shape a front plate to cover the upper area with cut outs for the lights and then to rivet or bolt over the damaged area in that it appears to be a flat area without flanges as mine had.

I didn't think about hot glue, I tried epoxy and it didn't work. I may try the hot glue. If that don't work, I guess I will make one out of a piece of aluminum. Thanks for the reply.

an opportunity to unleash your inner artist...brushed aluminum would look nice.
