[AT] rear rim repair

[Cecil Bearden]

When I rebuilt my TS110 New Holland engine  last year,  I got the parts 
from A&I, and Hy-Capacity.   I have a Hy-Capacity dealership.    Most 
parts from both companies were in boxes labeled Sparex, an English 
manufacturer.  No problems with the parts.  I had noticed that A&I parts 
were available at all JD dealers.  That explains it.   Good to know you 
are with A&I.
