I have been looking for the larger lower grill plate that fits a D6 8U/9U hard nose for a while now. Anyone know of one that could be had without traveling around the world? I live south of Erie, PA.

I think your part # is 4F8083 google it and you should see lots. If not it will give you some phone numbers.

This is what google turns up. I think it's a little rich for my tastes. I'm still looking.

Ten pages deep I find it, still looking if anyone has a good lead, I'd appreciate it.

As an update to this, the part number posted above is not what I was looking for, that is the fine wire mesh grill guard that is on a bare tractor with out a blade. The guard I am searching for is the 3/8 perforated steel plate that bolts on the hydraulic hard nose that is standard to a Cat 6A blade. It's roughly 29 1/2" wide by 23 1/2" tall, has a mounting hole in each of the 4 corners and 3/4 inch perforated holes all across it to allow air thru but stock stick and stones from being pushed into the radiator. I do not know the part number but it is the larger lower guard. I'm still searching. Thanks.
