I thought I had already posted this, but can't find it. The PO of my 7100 dumped a load of rock (or something) over the back of the loader bucket right on the hood above the headlights. It's beat back out, looks like the used a torch to aid the process (shaking head), so while the lights are gone, it's somewhat functional (keeps sun/rain off the mechanicals anyway) and in roughly the right general shape. I'm not a restoration guy, no wax or perfect matching Kubota OEM paint jobs found here. But that crunched hood just bugs me seeing it every time I walk past. And when/if I sell, it will obviously improve "first impressions" and eliminate an obvious dicker point.
Ideally I would like a generally serviceable hood, a bit of character is fine, I would even prefer it very faded so it looks like it belongs there (as long as I'm wishing, and paying...). If you've got one you'll part with, for an appropriate price so shipping doesn't kill the value, let me know, I would like to pick one up (with headlights if possible).
Any help will be much appreciated.

I'm more looking for someone with a "decent" hood relatively cheap that they may have replaced during a cosmetic build, something they mostly want out of their way and maybe not good enough to sell normally. Something that would look at home on my old tractor rather than raiding someone's spare parts. I know it's not likely I'll find anything suitable, but you never know if you don't ask/post, right?
