This company is now out of business but I am sure the repro stuff they were fronting can still be found. Does anyone have any comments?

I ordered a wiring harness for a 300 from them. It was of
good quality. Only problem was it came with a new switch.
The switch had spade terminals. The harness had fork
terminals.

Precision tractor parts are making the gauges, lights, and fuel lines. I talked to the
owner at the Red Power Roundup and he said he went to the sale to buy some plastic totes
and ended up buying some of the equipment. He is also licensed through CIH.

You will probably get your wish. See you in the funny papers
Does anyone know if grills are being made by anyone after OEM closed? There was a supply on ebay for a while, but that disappeared. I was looking for a Super A
grill and had talked myself into paying the crazy price for it and then discovered they were all gone. I ended up buying a Farmall C grill and making it work.
Correct police will be after me when I take it to a show when I am done with the Super A. The bottom is different on the A and C.

I attended the Half Century Farm Progress Show this past week in Rantoul, Illinois and had a conversation with Randy of Precision Tractor Parts. Yes he does offer the fuel lines and lights that appear to be like those previously sold by OEM along with some other items. He mentioned that someone bought at the auction of OEM's tools and equipment all the battery box tooling but has never heard anything about it since the auction thinking it might surface again in the form of boxes. He does sell the same gauges made by Rochester Gauge Co. that were previously sold by OEM. He mentioned that the license OEM had with Rochester Gauge and CaseIH had to go through a transfer process before he could offer them for sale so I would surmise they are the only licensed source of USA made Rochester/CaseIH gauges. The Rochester gauges are easy to tell from the Asian imports in that the ones I saw were in metal cases like the original. They were all identified with the Rochester script on the faceplate and the IH or IHC logo of the correct era along with the IH part no. Hope this adds a little to this thread, Hal.
Lemme get this straight:
There was a guy running a small shop, "OEM Parts", that was making licensed CIH reproduction parts, who is now gone, and the dies for making those metal parts are now 'somewhere else', but no one knows where, or whether the new owner of those dies is going to continue making those parts?? Is it a matter that the new die owner has to get permission from CIH to do so? Is it a matter of paying for the privilege of using an IH part #? Is anyone still making a replacement hood for an H?
I've had it in mind to get into making some reproduction / add-on / improvement parts myself, having some tool and die experience and connections in a few press shops (if I ever get to retire from full time farming). I've fabbed some update parts for my own equipment that might be of use to others, that obviously aren't "OEM". If for example I make a "better" battery box, or an upgraded wiring harness for an alternator and additional lights, not to any OEM specs and not suitable for restoration work, but that still bolts up in place of the original, no permission or license is required, right? Is it necessary or prudent that I patent the improved items first? How about a rake tine clip? How different does it have to be to make it not necessary to "license"?
Maybe this is splitting hairs, but as a wild (and impractical) example, if I made a slant 6 conversion kit for an SMTA, to include a longer hood with holes punched in different locations for air and exhaust, would I need permission from CIH to make that hood? I would think not, because it isn't fully 'their pattern'. If was making exact (restoration quality) replacement hoods for an H, even with a part number all my own, that might be an issue. Am I right?

I love this modern view! I don't know how straight you have the story but I need a new or good used Nose Cone for an SMTA. Apparently the equal access to information has been corrrupted. Well worn is OK too>
