Before I bought my tractor an M4500DT someone must have run it in to a tree or something, they replaced the radiator and hammered out the front bonnet panel, but there is no front panel radiator grill with the lights etc.
There is a wrecker with fair quality parts off a M4500 which says "low profile" on the side. Does anyone know if these panels will fit a M4500DT. He also has a front off an M4500DT but that one is pretty rough.

Thanks Wolfman is the M4050 the same also?
Yes and NO

While the M4050 grill does match the US M4500 and the M4500DT
It does not match the part numbers for the M4500 and the M4500DT AU version.

You being in OZ would make me think your M4500DT is the AU version.

It might just be an esthetic thing but no way to know for sure.

If searching salvage don't limit yourself to just Kubota. Hesston, Oliver, White and Fiat all used those same body panels for various models.

Check on the Bare-Co web site. They have the nose for a Fiat. I believe it's the same.

From tractordata photos looks like Fiat 450, 460, 480, and may be 500 have same nose shape as M4500, the Fiats had headlights mounted on each side of the nose, not on front. In any event the head lights can be added somewhere suitable.
