Stop in for a cup of coffee

OK...project at another stop and requires some sleuthing. Anyone able identify a year based on left motor mounts? Thought the /6 were all the same. Apparently not

New ones look like they'll fit the right side but almost an inch thinner?
Left side is a different style. Single bolt to the K and single onto block bracket.

Thoughts?

Dang, just drove 9 fence posts in the garden/orchard area, 6 1/2 footers to slide the aluminum pipes over I picked up to support the spreaders for the netting. Was told these pipes fit right over but did I test that before fence post driving, nope. Sitting here trying to think about options, the tube will almost fit over on one end but the other end has a taper to allow them to fit together. Can get power to the garden if I was going to try to sawsall or grind them down. Trying to think if rebar or tubing could replace the fence posts. Also thought about digging a 1 ft deep hole in each fence post spot and pouring concrete. Any ideas, please advise before I jump off of the cliff lol!

Confused… exactly what do you have in the ground now? And what needs to slide over? Size/material

What posts do you have
 
I have fence "T" posts and the aluminum tubes are 4 feet long and appx 1 1/2" in diameter on one end and the other end is tapered to fit into it so closer to 1 inch diameter. If I cement these into the ground they will go directly in. I am planning on using 2 4 footers for the sides and 3 4 footers for the center "peak" of the netted area. I'll post a couple pics, thx.

2303 driver's side and 2304 passenger's side. They're tough to find. Here is a nice pair of high quality poly mounts. They're proud of um though.

camo netting?

I would guess that is what they were for Army but I have 1/2" opening black poly netting, 50 ft x 66 ft. The fence around the garden is 7 feet, keeps the deer out but the birds got the fruit last year minus apples. We had the blueberries covered but they also got the goose berries.

I found the poles/spreaders on Clist, drove quite a while to get them, wanted to stop in Elma and get a bite to eat at the Rusty Tractor : ) Anyway, netting was on Amazon. I have 25 feet of schedule 80 pipe, could get several done as it just fits and can go inside the aluminum pipe until it narrows down at flange. Can't buy steel on the island though so will have to go off island to purchase another stick to finish.

Hmm if you could find the ground stakes, you’ll be golden.
