John Deere Casting Process - Article/Pictures

[sleepyhollow]

I opened my latest issue of Modern Casting today and much to my surprise the feature article was on the John Deere Casting process and their innovations. They were rated Foundry of the Year for 2004. Modern Casting article - John Deere Metal Casting Process

As a John Deere owner with a keen interest in metal working I am about to sit down to enjoy the article but I wanted to post the link for all of you as well. You will need to hit the "next button" at the bottom of every page and the article is about 10 pages or so but mostly pictures.

I suspect that this link will only be valid for the month of August but if you would like to see the article after that, they are all archived on the Modern Casting website. Enjoy,
Sleepyhollow

If your ever in Waterloo, or Moline, make it worth your time to go do the John Deere factory tour. They are truly amazing!

sleepyhollow,

Modern Castings? You and I should chat...I'm a former CT (and PA) foundry owner, past chair of the CT AFS Chapter, and currently an owner of a sales agency that marries users of castings to manufacturers. Small world for something that makes up 1/6 our GNP.
