Hurst, Did you get the 7580 side panel's on E-Bay ?

Some of them 7580 parts went kinda HIGH I thought and I only live 23 mi's from this guy, and I saw this 7580 before it was tore apart not to bad.

Nah, I just watched. They went pretty high for something on ebay. I've watched nicer ones go without a bid (they were on the west coast... my luck). It would have been an 8 hour drive there and back, and I figured I can pick up a nice set at a salvage yard close to what those brought. I was surprised how much just the seat and the dash panel went for. I didn't really pay attention to all the parts. There were still some high dollar parts that had no bids at the last hour (like the transmission). And the block going for +$200 after it had a crank break in it? That seemed a little high considering at best it needed to be line bored. Did you end up getting any parts from him? Another thing was he never replied to my e-mail asking if he would be able to hold parts for a little bit while I arranged transportation/trip. I don't think I missed out on too much there.

The only thing I ended up with was some panels the go under the dash, that seat was kinda a shock, it was nice but ! I took it $153 along with the side panels at the same toot. And the dash well I can buy one $100 w/ the gauges and shut-off in it, just crazy when your finger overpowers your wallet, I'am going to repaint 7000 black bottom this winter and I'll just have to try to bumping before paint, I guess thats why they call it bump and paint LOL. I have bought from that guy before and he is OK just Kinda cold shoulder might you may say.

I think I can eventually work out all the bends in my panels for what those cost. I figured if I could find a good body man one day, I could have him hammer out the creases and get it looking good again, but it's still a work tractor right now, so I'm not too worried about it. If I need parts, I can drive up to the salvage yard in ohio, (Mayers I think) and pick up some stuff. I was thinking about getting the control levers, but I couldn't see if the holes were as worn as or more worn than mine lol.

Any idea what he was looking for on the side hood panels? Probably out of my ball park right now with a year and a half more of college to pay for...
