ya, when IH decided to produce a GT they discovered instead of creating an entirely new transmission and such they just used what they already had available, saved millions in re-tooling, re-engineering... and created the most over-engineered GT ever produced at the time. Still today the IH Cub rear end is favored by most GT pullers regardless of how their tractor is "painted".
Check out Ken Updike's books on the history of Cub Cadet.
