Description

When you’re looking under the hood of your Case IH Maxxum and notice a missing, cracked, or damaged side grille panel, it’s not just about looks—though a tractor with proper body panels does make a better impression at the coffee shop. These panels direct cooling air through the radiator, shield the engine from crop debris and weather, and provide structural support for other hood components. A missing or damaged left-side grille leaves your engine vulnerable and can hurt cooling efficiency when you need it most.

What You’re Getting

Factory-style grille design that channels airflow exactly where it needs to go
Heavy-gauge construction that stands up to the bumps and scrapes of real farm work
Proper mounting points for secure installation without modification
Direct replacement that fits like the original—no adjustments or adapters needed

Built for Real Farm Work

Your Case IH Maxxum tractors are designed for diverse agricultural operations including row-crop farming, livestock management, hay production, transport duties, and intensive field work. Whether you’re running an MX100 on hay duty, using your MX135 for loader work around the farmyard, or putting your MX170 through heavy tillage, that grille panel protects vital cooling components from the dust, chaff, and debris that comes with the territory.

Made to Last

Heavy-gauge steel construction resists the dents and dings that come with real farm use, while proper stamping provides the rigidity needed to maintain shape despite vibration and flexing. This isn’t some flimsy aftermarket piece that’ll warp or crack after a season. It’s built to handle the temperature swings and tough conditions your tractor faces day after day.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward with basic hand tools—the panel bolts right into the existing mounting points. While you have one panel off, inspect the opposite side – they often suffer similar damage. Check all mounting hardware and replace any worn rubber insulators that cause panels to rattle. A little touch-up paint after installation keeps things looking professional and protects against rust.
