[AT] Cub Cadet values

[charlie hill]

That was my question Steve, perhaps poorly stated.  Do the Case IH models 
coincide with the Mahindra models?
I take it that they do.  I keep thinking about when I was in the trucking 
business in the 70's.  You could buy a KW, or Peterbuilt with, for example, 
a Fuler RTO 125-13 (roadranger) transmission.  You could buy an 
International truck with the same transmission but when you tore the IH down 
to work on it the bearings and seals were a slightly different size.  IH 
said "we had them build it to our tougher specs."  The truth was they had 
them build it so they could sell parts at 3 or 4 times the price.
A seal for the roadranger in a KW could be bought in a parts house for maybe 
$15.00.  Seal for the same use in the built for IH roadranger had to come 
from IH for $50 or $60.
