Having never owned one......like 99% of the responders here.....I can"t condemn them without first hand experience.
You mentioned Deere"s....I have a fairly new one (5320) and I can speak freely about it. Being built with parts made all over the globe...China (drawbar assembly), Poland (3 point lift assembly), Spain (electric components), Germany (transmission), Mexico (engine), Italy (4 wd front axle), and who knows where the rest came from, how can a person b!tch about a tractor built in India.......especially with Deere having them built there as well?
I"d say they are about as good as anything currently on the market. And while they may be advancing beyond their early IH roots, I"d bet that much of that influence remains. I recall MF importing their Brazilian made tractors back in the 80"s......I never heard anybody complain about them. A man, on an assembly line, whether he is Anglo-Saxon, Asian, or otherwise....pretty much does the same thing...he bolts together parts at his station. Cast iron is a very basic material, pretty well mastered the world over, 100 years ago. A machine operator anywhere, can be taught what to do.....of course, it depends on what he is taught (to do). I am sure the Indians import parts from all over the same as Deere does. Any nation capable of developing a nuclear arsenal.....can build farm tractors.

Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
