Help with 5000 grille

I am piecing a basket case 5000 back
together. It's a 1965 model but the hood
is non-louvered so it is not the original
sheet metal. I ordered a plastic grille
supposedly for a 5000 but it is no where
close. What do you think will fit this
opening? What am I looking for?

I have a 5000 that I believe is a 73 model, that grill looks like it fits my tractor, but you?re missing the top section that goes with it, (2 piece grill)
I believe the grill you actually need looks like a wire mesh grill....
 
You need someone with a '68-up tractor to go out with a tape measure and come back with some dimensions. The one you got looks like it was shrunk.

You need 2 pieces, 8A and 12A or 12B.

That is what my 67 looks like. That white mesh wraps back a bit and the mystery hood has a straight front so there is nowhere for that wrap to go.
 
Turn what you have there sideways from how you have it... then get the upper grill with the red F-O-R-D block lettering. You'll also need the pins that push into the clips in the tabs on the grill opening.
 

Should look like is 74 5000 grill.
Turn the lower grill to line up the mounting holes, it's tapered and will only fit correctly one way, then get the upper section
