Picked up a BX24 last week. It has 350 hours on it. Looks to be in good shape except for a broken left fender and the middle tooth has been removed from the BH bucket. I'll probably take a piece of sheet aluminum, and patch the fender. Plan to pick up a new tooth. My question is since I don't know when the filters and fluids were last replaced should I replace all now? Also where do must folks get their parts? Online or dealer? Thanks for the help.

If you do not have service records, yeah, do a engine oil/filter, HST fluid (Use Super UDT), filter, clean the strainer, change the fuel filter, check/replace the air filter and probably the coolant as well. Grease all zerks.
Parts from a local dealer or Messicks or Colemans. My local dealer is the same as the internet, except I pay tax but I do not pay shipping, so it is cheaper. Plus they are real good guys and I'd rather support local when it is reasonable.

Also check the hoses, radiator hoses to be specific. Flush the cooling system and replace the coolant. In some cases, the power steering lines may need to be checked. Also, check your fuel lines, check for any abrasion on them.
