I have one that the grill mesh is approx. 3.75" recessed from the leading edge of the grill shell. The other is recessed approx. 1.50" from the leading edge. They both fit. Were there 2 different grill styles built for the 185?

Thanks

Chris

The deep inset screen would have been the early style for 180's and 185's prior to late 1971 or early 1972. The screen was cream color on 180's and orange on 185's and the front outside edge was rounded. The second design moved the screen forward and the front outside edge was squared off. This grille shell design was similar to what the 200 tractor got minus the pleated screen.
