I love my local dealer...

Drove to my local CaseIH dealer for some 560 gaskets and a filter. (Passed a 560 diesel pulling a square baler and a hay rack.) Started off with listing the hydraulic filter I needed. The counter-man wrote the part# down off the top of his head, walked to his parts bins and brought out the correct filter. Most of the other gaskets he didn't have other than one pump cover gasket, but I'm still amazed at his memory recall.

Not only that, but for a Kubota mower I was working on, he found a voltage regulator that didn't show up in any parts lists. He had to call Kubota in Californial, get them to pull out their old prints and discovered that the very earliest tractors used one of several regulators. Pricey, but he got it for me.

The oil filter memory don't surprise me.

From 1958 thru 1985 there were only about 4 different filters for all the IH tractors.

Not like cars where every year they used a different filter.

At one time we had a 460,856,986,2-1086s,and a 1440 combine and only had to stock 2 different numbers of oil filters.

Chris,
You don't love your dealer, you should love your parts man. Wait until you get the computer "jockey" who tells you; "No such part, that tractor isn't in the SYSTEM, are you sure that's the number, etc."
 
Actually, it was a hydraulic filter, not a spin-on type or even cylindrical. Rather, it was a somewhat big cartridge style, that was only used on the 460/560 style rear ends.
