I wish it was as simple as we all think it should be when dealing with insurance companies. You gotta look at how bad it burnt, if the tires went up, then it is bad, too much heat will not just warp an injector pump, I have seen them turned to slag, ok,,assuming it is bad, some things to keep in mind, heat will soften all the valve springs, a bit more heat softens the injector springs, more heat will destroy all the oil seals and gaskets in the engine, some things ya might need, rad, hoses, seals tween the rad and grille, air cleaner parts and hoses, charging system, starter and cables, intrument cluster, fuel sender and others, can be a long list, and the dealer will always err on the side of replacing EVERYTHING that even looks dodgey, cause if something goes wrong later, yer gonna go back and he has to fix it likey, now, a couple options, like ya said, find more accurate prices for a unit like yers was, takes time and calls, but can pay off, or get the dealer to maybe price some Non-NewHolland parts, quite a few jobbers are selling rads and hoses, instrument clusters and such, maybe a few used parts reconditioned, like the starter or even a used injector pump and get it rebuilt? Is still yer tractor, so maybe get him to go over his list of things he figures it needs and maybe yu can get some cheaper stuff installed, insurance ALWAYS likes cheapest route, I hate pricing these jobs cause ya never know just how bad it really is till the job is all done, Best of Luck with that Insurance place
