Caroline -- Another source for the "ladder" radiator sides is Rosewood Machine & Tool in Rosewood, Ohio, if you don't mind using reproduction parts (some Fordson F collectors I know insist on using only original parts -- I don't see what difference it makes, as long as the reproductions are identical to the originals). The president of that company is a longtime Fordson F enthusiast and has restored quite a few tractors, including some of the earliest Model F tractors (and prototypes) ever manufactured. After having quite a few difficulties in finding replacement parts for his restorations, he decided to reconstruct the tooling to manufacture some of the more hard-to-find Fordson F parts (manifolds, early drawbar/radiator/fuel caps, etc.). The website is http://www.rosewoodmachine.com. Parts are a bit pricey, but at least you won't have to hunt all over Creation to find these rare parts. I've pasted the page with your radiator sides below; hope it'll work for you. Good luck to you, and be sure to post some pictures for us when you're done! -- Maine Fordson
