They didn't offer it because it was obsolete. Not because they couldn't figure out how to make it work. I mean....surely MTD had the resources to add ears or redesign a lower bracket to directly bolt to the aluminum rear.

And it is a moot point.... as I stated, but spelled correctly this time.

No, MTD sold IH built machines.
1981 to 1985 CCC built and sold all the tractors. IH sold to the line to MTD in 1981. (If you study it, it actually was before 81, just not announced.)
The Cat 0 was NEVER offered on a CI rear end machine. Serial number 720,000 and above was an ALUMINUM rear!!!
Wow. Just wow.
Nobody is going to think any less of you if you just let this go. You don't know enough to debate this, and your just digging your hole deeper buddy.
