MF 65 Hood Scoop? Hens Teeth rare?

[Stan56]

Good morning, I am looking for a hood scoop and associated parts for a late MF 65. The current AGCO # is 190562M1. The scoop that came with mine from the previous owner is broken. I think it was that way long before he bought the tractor.

In any case, I believe I saw a post from long ago saying they are no longer made, either OEM or reproduction. If that is the case, any suggestions? I am in central CA, about an hour north of Fresno.

Thanks,
Stan

SUCCESS!

At Myers Ward salvage yard (in central CA) yesterday and asked the owner if there was one in stock. After checking four rows of sheet metal from that era Massey, I was ready to give up. He however, kept looking and in the fifth row that really had 100 and 200 series hoods, found one! It has a crack on the left side, just above the emblem that I am repairing with JB Weld. I have backed the repair on the inside with some 1/16" welding rod bridging the gap.

Hit it with a wire wheel today, in preparation to repaint the whole thing. My apologies for the focus, or lack, but here are some pictures of the progress so far.
