MF 1x5 fender bolt spacing

[Mudrig150]

I'm planning on putting a set of the US spec Massey Ferguson 135 or similar fenders on my Ford because I don't really like how the clamshell fenders look and I want to have easier mounting for work lights.
The problem is that I can't seem to find the measurement of the spacing between the bolt holes in the axle casting. On my tractor they're exactly 5" apart. How far apart are they on a 1x5 series Massey?

You might want to do a bit more checking. The fender in your picture does not have the bracket needed to mount it to the axle. That being the case you could fabricate your own brackets to fit the axle and the fender.

I did not see the brackets called out in the MF 135 parts book, but the first attached picture is what the MF 165 book shows for one flat top fender arrangement, the others are similar. The second is the bracket YT offers for the flat-top fenders. You could call them and get the dimensions of their brackets.

I know it doesn't, I put the picture to demonstrate the fender type I'm putting on. I might try messaging them or find someone on marketplace nearby who has a set to measure.

It appears the bracket shown has slots on the bottom, as does my 165 parts book. It also appears additional holes could be added.

The bolt spacing on my 135 diesel is 5 inches, and the bracket is not slotted.
