ON REHEARING
International Harvester and H. & M. Truck and Tractor Company urge in their motion for rehearing that the issues concerning their liability for excessive repairs to the farm machinery are so interwoven with the claims against them for crop damages that we should reverse the entire judgment and remand the whole cause for another trial. We conclude that this part of the motion for rehearing should be granted, since the condition of the machinery also materially affects the Kesey Brothers’ claim for crop losses. We accordingly grant that part of the motion for rehearing hut otherwise overrule it. Iley v. Hughes, 158 Tex. 362, 311 S.W.2d 648, 85 A.L.R.2d 1 (1958); Texas Employers’ Ins. Ass’n v. Lightfoot, 139 Tex. 304, 162 S.W.2d 929 (1942).
The judgment which this court rendered on February 6, 1974, is set aside. The judgments of the courts below are reversed, and the entire cause is remanded to the trial court.
