 From what I have read, IH management had an aversion to being dependent 
on other companies for critical components, except electrical items from 
big vendors such as GM/Delco/Guide. And it is entirely possible that 
they felt that they could build the Cub engine for less than it would 
cost to buy from another vendor.

Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who
want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm but the harm
does not interest them. -T.S. Eliot, poet (1888-1965)
