Will the grill housing from a narrow frame fit a wide frame? I don't want to cut this off and move it if I don't have to

No, it will not.
If you are moving that to another tractor, it'd be a good opportunity to improve on that mess.

I have done a lot of fabricating, and I have found that a tape measure is your best friend...
Thanks Matt.

What model are you putting it on? WF hydraulic lift parts are not difficult to find; if you are putting it on a gear drive, that pump plus the rockshaft, cylinder, control valve, etc. from a hydraulic lift equipped tractor of the same series would make a pretty clean installation.
FYI I think this is a mid 50's thunderbird power steering pump. some of those old fords run on type A fluid or they leak. there should be a number on the pump so you can look it up.
Matt, I have a 129 that is pretty rough and I have almost zero investment in it. The 129 has no options on it now. Our oldest lives out in the boonies and needs twenty ton of gravel spread out and I thought it would be nice to have a push blade on the front and something on the back. A blade or a drag box maybe? Either way I thought it would make life easier with two ways to move it.
Spndcash, thanks for the heads up on the pump. When I saw pictures of it I thought that it looked like a Ford power steering pump but no clue of it's true origin. That info gives me a better idea where to start looking if it goes south.
So here's the 129 - how's this for rough? Perfect earth mover?

I have been able to secure the hydraulics from a donor 149 to install on the 129. Now to find a couple of WF rear lifts...........
