Parts of Tractors – exemption for captive consumption

The question is whether parts falling under Chapters other than 87, when used within the factory of production for manufacture of goods of heading 8701 are eligible for the exemption under Notification No. 6/2002-CE dated 1.3.2002 (Sr. No. 296) and Notification No. 6/2006-CE dated 1.3.2006(Sr. No. 92).

Where is the doubt? The Board wants to say, but not before going through the Section Note 2(e) of Section XVII which excludes

(e) machines or apparatus of headings 8401 to 8479, or parts thereof; articles of heading 8481 or 8482 or, provided they constitute integral parts of engines or motors, articles of heading 8483;

How does it matter when parts falling under any chapter arte exempted?
