John Deere, is biting themselves in the a** with this move farmers
need to be able to fix their own stuff. On vacation now in the
Florida keys, and managed to run into a farmer that farms around
1500 acres in Illinois. His favorite tractor is a 1979 John Deere
4440. Their new stuff just turns him off. With 4900 hours on it I'd
say he's about 1/2 way through to a rebuild. Does everything he
needs it to do and no computer crap.<br>

<p>I was speaking with an acquaintance this morning who teaches
Material Engineering at Cal Poly SLO. I asked about his recent
trip to Iowa, did six weeks a NIU? Apparently he teaches
casting, probably from the metallurgical standpoint. He
mentioned he had visited several foundries in the area, JD and
affiliated, I assume. With the recent discussion on casting
parts here I got interested. Didn’t have time to elaborate,
but I did find out that there are 57 foundries in California.
Hard to imagine with all the pollution controls. <o:p></o:p></p>
