MF65 Air Cleaner Support & Side Panels

Member
I have a gasoline powered MF65 (1958 w/ Contential G176 engine) utility model that previous owners modified the air cleaner support and both side panels for reasons unknown. I'm trying to restore these interfaces so I can mount the grills (which were missing). I can't tell too much from my parts manual and I don't have another tractor to look at. Could someone please send/post some pictures of how these go together?

Thank you,
Slomo
 
pics of my 50 which is mounted the same. I hope this helps.

Wjytexas,
Thank you for the pictures. I can't see it very well, but it appears there is one bolt through the top hole in the side panel that picks up the hole in the angled bracket on the bottom of the air cleaner support deck. Is that correct? If both sides are the same, may I trouble you once more for a close up picture of the interface from underneath the air cleaner support deck?

hope these help. i don't know why the first and third rotated. and the cat has the instincts but little skill.

Thank you again for your pictures. I enjoyed your comment regarding your cat's hunting skills.

Unfortunately, I'm still not seeing the details of the interface I'm seeking. I'm attaching some pictures of what I have so you can see what I'm up against and demonstrate the views/perspectives that would clear things up. The first two pictures are the left side and the last is the right side.
Again my great thanks!

I can kinda see where the holes were in the side panels but you would almost have to have a complete one next to it if you are not familiar with them
 
you have me going on this one. does the fan shroud look anything like this? I'm wondering if the reason everything is changed is to accommodate a different radiator

Yes, my fan shroud looks like yours. From my pictures you can see how butchered my parts are. Homemade bracket on the left side ties the side panel to the air cleaner support. Comparing the right side to my parts manual I have no idea what's suppose to happen there. Our communications are confirming my suspicions, I need to replace my air cleaner support with one in original condition. I'm in the process of trying to find one. I think when I see it my confusion will be cleared up....or at least I hope it will. I suspect I'll have to rebuild/created the attachment points on the side panels to get everything to bolt together and have the grills fit and operate correctly.
Thank you,
Slomo
