1643 Front Brush Guard for 1754

[onionfmr]

Waiting for the delivery of my 1754 tractor. Dealer waiting on different tires and rims from Massey for the tractor. Apparently, Massey is really slow in shipping tire and rim packages!!! Brush guards on new 1700 series tractors seem pretty wimpy compared to my 1643. Dealer has been pretty accommodating, so far. Before I ask to switch, does anybody know if the front brush guard from a 1643 will fit on a 1754 front frame? Thanks

I'll answer my own question. Hope this helps others in the future. Had both tractors side-by-side this afternoon. Doesn't look like the 1643 front brush guard will work on the 1754. It appears that the 1754 hood will hit the 1643 brush guard and that is why Massey redesigned the front brush guard on the 1700 series tractors.
