Summer Trip 2015

On June 30th  we loaded on to a charter bus to go to the Quad Cities area for factory tours. We started with a tour of Davenport Works where they build construction equipment. In the afternoon we toured John Deere Corporate Headquarters and finished the day at the Pavilion. Wednesday morning we went to Harvester Works and finished the tour with Dubuque Works  on the way home. We also had an opportunity to browse through the Baker collection of old tractors on the way by.  Here are some highlights.












Power Trains

The first half of the summer we have John Deere Power Trains. The classroom involves Quad-Range, Power-Quad, Power Shift and Infinitely Variable Transmissions. We also discuss power flows and repair procedures. Here are some of the lab pictures.
