[Farmall] Oil for Cub Engine

[Robert Schleyer]

I agree with Mike, TM Tractors sells good quality parts. A lot of parts you
get from a Case/International Dealer come from Mexico.

The best prices that I have found for Cub parts are from TM Tractor 
Parts, who specialize in Cubs and LoBoys. And, amazingly enough, almost 
all the stuff I bought from them carries a "Made in USA" label. I am 
very happy with their service, and the cartons arrive in excellent 
condition. They only charge for shipping what FedEx charges them.
