[AT] rain; now Grain Drill

[John Hall]

Hadn't tried them but I would surprised if they had them. I am restricted by 
OD and ID--makes it hard to come up with a substitute--especially when 
figuring OAL, collapsed height, and rate..

 At least the new ones I got from AGCO are made in the USA. I'm getting more 
disgusted with the quality of the crap we keep importing from China. Just 
put a set of brake bands in a Cub. The linings had air gaps between them and 
the bands and the radius wasn't even remotely close. Rest assured they 
didn't come from Case-IH.
