Default Owners Manual Question

I have seen a few of these on eBay before and I'm curious about them. They include the 86 (wide frame) with the rest of the narrow frame line of tractors. Why would they be grouped together in the same manual as they are different series of tractors? Did the 86 replace the 73 before IH quit making the rest of the narrow frame tractors? This listing actually has a picture of the "Note to the owner", which is the first time I've seen that portion before. Thoughts?

Looked at Binder Books and they have nothing like that. With that note maybe it was a change over manual.

Lets say it is the first printing of the manual for wide frames.
And the printer failed to correct ALL of the model numbers on the cover.
A few hundred were printed before anyone noticed.
So instead of trashing them, they added the note.

But I would think the note would have been on IH letter head paper.

Edit:
The misprint operators manual appears to be legit.
Per another CC forum in Sept. 2008

Hmm. Well, it looks like these might be kind of rare then. Having not seen inside one, I assume all the pictures and text correspond with the rest of the 8/9 series then? The part number on the back is the same as the correct printing of the manual.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
