Re the grill latch on a 185 . Has anyone replaced the two latches with a more postive locking latch that will keep the grill from falling off .

A hair pin clip or a piece of wire around them will keep them latched.   MACK

Fred, as Stray mentioned, they can be adjusted to latch better.  New latches are also available through AGCO.
