It looks like things could be worse. With any luck, your engine will be OK and it doesn't look like the steering area or the SOS controls were hit. I would disassemble the tin to see just what you need. If the engine and SOS were OK before the tractor got hit, they probably are OK now unless the impact broke housings.

It looks like you need a diesel tank and the front tin and possibly the tank heat shield and rocker cover. Hopefully the injection pump was not hit--that could be really bad and expensive to fix. The tank could be a problem to find. I don't know if a gasoline tank could be made to work, but I would hunt for a diesel tank. The tin should be fairly easy to find. Maybe the radiator survived, but I would never get that lucky.

I like your air cleaner setup, which also looks like it came through fine. My guess is that replacing it would be very tough, but unless there is damage I can't see, yours is probably OK.

Good luck fixing it back up. If you decide to part it out, I might be very interested in that air cleaner.
