NH 499 Haybine Sheet Metal Needed

First cutting hay was delayed in Northeast Indiana due to Mother Nature. As a result we were cutting hay as fast as we could. I was moving to our last field and didn't have the haybine in the correct position and the sheet metal that shields the reel drive pulley on the left side of the machine was mangled when it hit a fence post (6" corner post). I priced the shields from our NH dealer and had a heart attack, they want about $800 for the various shields.

Do any of you know of parts depots that might have these shields from used haybines? I want the shields, but don't want to pay for new unless I have to.

here is a pic of a NH 479 I bought with a mangled shield...I just tore it off and fixed it up...new paint job and all...a new shield is twice as much as I have in it...counting paint and decals...lol
