We have Femco weather brakes on our tractors. the 2 we have for our Massey's are made by Femco and printed with MF on the side, but the one fr our Oliver 1855 is right from Femco. I'm happy with the quality of them.
The one for our 285 is 25 years old and has seen better days, but it still does the trick. The clear winsheild and sides are shot, but when I found a NOS one for our 165 with a loader, we used the windsheild for it on the 285 as on the 165, they just won't work with the location of the levers and that it needs to fit under the manure auger. Our 1855 doesn't have it on too often as we try to have our feild work done by November 1st, and then it sits until spring feildwork.
I don't know where all of the tractor's controls are located on Deere tractors, but I would keep the entry on the left and loader controls on the right. Doesn't make much difference in my mind having the windsheild or not, unless you're going down the road much. They do block the wind and do some good, but you could also leave only one side off to reach the controls.
As far as how they mount, the brackets that the doors latch to mount to either the fenders or the platform, depending on the tractor. On our Oliver, it mounts to the platform. On our Masseys they bolt to the fenders. Eitherway, they should fit no matter how wide or narrow the tractor is set. If it's pretty narrow, it may be tight but should work out o.k.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
