I had not worked on any of the little Fords for several years. I mean major work. I restored a Ford 981. Many of the parts from Ford where just re-boxed TISCO imported junk.
A Chitsco or Almost&Incorrect parts dealer can make a good living just by putting ignition parts on a dozen customer's tractors that see regular use, provided they don't do warranty work. Before the last one is tuned up 5 that got tune-ups already will need ignition parts again. Lots of other parts either one or both handle make you want to puke, either by visual appearance, improper fitment, or overall lack of quality of the item. Miscut gaskets are common. Chitsco ought to run a promotion: "Buy a manifold, get two pounds of casting sand free!". Both have some "decent" parts.
Many OEM's rebox cheap aftermarket crap, some tout their "gold value" line of parts (if you can't beat 'em, get in bed with 'em), or job parts out to the lowest bidder, quality be darned. Sad.
Overall, aftermarket ag parts never used to be this bad. The last 5-10 years have really changed these companies' part quality. Some OE parts are just as bad.
