Montana to LS model crossover

[Bayou Bullet]

I have a Montana 4940. My question is do the Montana model numbers directly relate to a specific LS model number? In other words, was there an LS 4940 which was just re-branded as a Montana 4940, or did Montana use different model numbers?

I ask this because I've called a couple of LS dealers and asked about getting a parts schematic for the 4940 and they don't seem to have any idea exactly which LS tractor I have. I even called LS and, basically, they said the same thing; "we're not sure which model you have.". The closest they seem to be able to come is that the 4940 is approximately the same as an LS 5020. However, there are significant differences in the two tractors.

I realize this thread is beyond middle aged but for those surfing for parts info the best source I have found for my 5740 parts has been Ag Bag Forage Solutions, LS Tractors in Astoria OR. 503-325-2970. Jeremy in the parts dept was VERY helpful in supplying
everything I needed to get me through a major engine counter balance assembly repair.
