Mahindra/IH question

[hudr]

I have a 5005 Mahindra. It is my understanding that M&M bought the "tooling rights" to some International models from the 60's. In fact, my 5005 is a dead ringer for the old 454 International. Anyway, has anyone had any experience with parts swapping between the old Internationals and this series Mahindra? Sure would be handy as there are a few of these old Internationals around here.
Thanks, guys...

Yes I have,
I had a IH 454 that needed a lift cylinder packing kit and IH said there is nothing available for it.
Since I am a Mahindra daler I fiqured why not call..
I got all the parts right of the shelf for the customers IH
I also got head light for anouther customers IH.

I've got a 485 DI, and would like to know the same thing. IH prices for some things seem to be lower....
