In the two cylinder era, a Mexican JD was built in Waterloo or Dubuque and assembled in Montaray Mexico.

Story I heard was Deere made some 30 series in Mexico during the retooling for the new generation. The question I have is whether the serial number tag is different. I have a 630 that was made Jan 7, 1960 and the tag says Waterloo. Jim

I think I remember reading an article in "Two Cylinder" about a Deere assembly plant in Mexico (Monterrey?). I think those models you mentioned were assembled there. In fact, I decided to roust my cousin (4th generation farmer with serious case of JD tunnel vision) about this issue and asked him if he knew what major American company was one of the first to do outsourcing as long ago as the 50's. When I told him, he wouldn't believe me and I've yet to see him again to show him the article. He's one of these guys who thinks that John Deere walked on water and went to the mountain to bring back the 10 Commandments. Interesting part of all this is that his own father said many times that their 46 Farmall M with a loader did more to keep the farm going after the war than the JD's did.

AND--I'm not trying to start a color war here! I love my JD B, A and 70 ALMOST as much as I love my Farmall Super C, Super H, Super M and Ford 2N. OK???

The one problem they had with these were they would only work about 3-4 hours a day and then would lay down under a tree somewhere and ya couldn't get um started for anything till the next day. Harley

Harley,
No them's the US models!

On a more serious note, I know Massey has been in Brazil for many years and I am sure JD and others are in south America..... as far as Mexico is concerned..I dunno. I have a new Deere with a Mex engine in it. I wonder if they built a complete engine facility or are taking parts down there and assembling them. I wouldn't doubt the blocks being cast in China..... .seems everything else is nowadays.
