Yanmar is now building the "compact" tractors for MTD who has owned Cub 
Cadet since 1984. They were building for John Deere but MTD gave them a 
better contract. Prior to Yanmar the compact diesels were made by 
Mitsubishi and the larger ones were Mahindras. It gets real convoluted 
when you start looking at that class of tractor. None of them are US 
made. Case/IH are generally Mahindra, JD was Yanmar, I think the new 
ones are Mitsubishi made,

As for the value of originals and the 100 series the originals are worth 
500-800 IF they are in top condition and have all the correct parts. The 
100 series are about the same.
