That was back when Amerika built the best stuff in the world. Everyone wanted what we built . Then the banksters thought it a good idea to make Marion Power Shovels in Japan for half of what we were building one for . Sell off the machinery and close down our factories .
ReplyDeleteKnow some guys that worked on those projects. For Deere for the most part.
ReplyDeleteBack when you could maintain your own equipment. Now you need dealership approval to add an implement to your tractor.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell. John Deere gear is supposed to be green. Caterpillar is yellow.
ReplyDeleteWell into the 90s John Deere forestry machines were all yellow, and I believe their dozers still are.
DeleteThe newer skidders, loaders and processors are all green, I believe.
My brother's 440 skidder has a few green panels, that have been painted over in industrial yellow. From what we have been told, the early 440's were JD green.
