I know that Deere and company no longer has a plant in this city! Does anyone out there have any idea of how rare this seat is and maybe how much it may be worth? [Reply]   [No Email]

By the way, I've been corrected about the Moline thing! Where might this number be? [Reply]  [No Email]

If it has that number on it, it's a foreign-made item that is being peddled all over the place as an old item...it is not old. Good luck, Stan [Reply]  [No Email]

And who told you Deere no longer had a Factory in Moline? (Or doesn't East Moline count???) Deere Harvester Works... This post was edited by Bob at 14:15:28 08/22/08. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm sure it's genuine and pretty old. I found it in 1974 while cleaning out an old barn in central Calif. Apparently I was mis-informed about the Moline thing! [Reply]  [No Email]
