Hey y'all,
First-time poster here. I think I'm in the right place, someone let me know if I'm not. I live on a 200+ acre cattle/row crop farm in Alabama, and we unfortunately had a hay fire occur last week. We managed to pull our late 70s or early 80s Case 580D Extendahoe out just in time and saved it from any serious mechanical damage besides some hoses and what I'm about to post pictures of. The instrument panel cluster, light switches, knobs (left of the cluster, not sure what they were for), and the back control lever cover were melted though. Getting mechanical parts for it has never been an issue where we are, but I am having a seriously tough time looking for these plastic parts for it, and was hoping someone here could help me out. I am somewhat inheriting the title of mechanic for it now, and want to learn as much as I can. Where or how can I determine the correct model year? Maybe that can help me search for these parts. If anyone could help that would be awesome. I apologize for the size of the pictures, I'll get that figured out. Thanks!
