Yep, as Pinball says, many new parts are made in Cheena today. Distributor parts are best purchased at your local NAPA dealer -they are all made in the USA or Mexico. STEINER TRACTOR is in Lennon, Michigan, west of Flint, at exit 123 off I-69. They are just a distributor of all the parts mostly made in Cheena. Years go when they were Grand Blanc Tractor Sales, they had a lot of parts cast and machined locally. I have a manifold on my 9N with their name on it. then the EPA made it so no US foundry could survive and most all were forced out of business. My advice: I'd say you don't need a trip to Michigan to get quality parts. Dennis Carpenter in Charlotte, NC owns a lot of the original Ford tooling and makes many OEM exact-as-original parts new and JUST8NS sells them as well. Most all other parts suppliers buy Carpenter's repops and resell with an added hefty percentage attached. Carpenter also sells the cheena stuff too but for best quality and prices, try them or JUST8NS. The money you'd spend driving to Michigan would cover shipping. Don't know what you mean by 'exchange' but there is no currency exchange rate from Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois, to Michigan.... ; > ) GRIN! AS also emphasized, ALWAYS use your original parts. They are better than anything made new today. If a part needs absolutely to be replaced, best to find another original and rebuild it. Get carb, distributor, water pump, governor, hydraulics, generator, starter, et all rebuilt. I can do your carb and Farmer Dan rebuilds distributors -has a few all set to go on his shelf right now. My email is open if you want more help... Tim Daley(MI)
