[AT] Deere vs. auto parts?

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Deere has been running ads for the last few months in Successful Farming magazine that essentially say their parts are built to higher standards than other manufacturers. The ads imply that other companies are essentially using automotive parts. I don’t remember if the ad is targeted toward other OEM’s or toward aftermarket parts suppliers. Anybody seen the ad or know who they are taking a shot at?
