Doodle bug tractors post a photo

Here's my 1930 Model AA Doodle. I use it as a run-around at my local antique equipment show: nationalpike.com The wheels have had the centers cut out and welded over the existing Ford wheels which had been bolted in place but were torched off at the spokes! I think the wheels are Dodge? 6 spoke holes in front, 5 in rear.

Here's an A model that I just got from a member of the Franklin, N.Y. Doodlebug club. Hopefully it will warm up enough soon to get more work done on it. I have a question about the radiator on this, I believe that the '32 comm. grille and radiator were added later by someone and they are probably a couple inches too tall so rather than cut stuff to lower them I wondered how tall a '30-'31 radiator is ? Maybe I could just swap out the radiator and trim the shell a little on the sides? Does anyone have a '30-'31 that they could measure and give me an overall height? Thanks

It's NOT a passenger car shell, it's a commercial that has been painted so it kind of looks like a car grille and looks a bit better than what it is. I'd gladly trade it for one that has already been modified for a channeled car that is in similar shape, I do want to keep the '32 look though.
 
That is only 30 31 gas tank and top of cowl.I will be easier and cheaper to just replace the sides of the cowl and it should bring it to the proper height. Think, how do many people put a 32 grill on a model A ? JMHO. Jim.T.

I'm not all that experienced with Model A's but the firewall etc. looks like '28-'29 to me and if I raise the sides then my steering column will be way below the cutout in the firewall. Also the hood is only 28" long and the date on the Worthington tag is Feb. 1927 there are no engine #'s must be a comm. eng. I think Ford sold these to manufacturers of comm. equip. like Worthington mower co.
 
What are these things worth? Found one in N.J. model A with a truck trans. heavy rear, no grill or hood,engine seized. It appears that it is all there from the pictures.
Haven't looked at it yet two hour ride. I'd like to know what it might be worth?

If there's some hope of freeing up the engine that's probably a pretty avg. price, if the engine is just a boat anchor it's a little high.
