Those JD welders of the 70's were indeed Century welders. Some of them also had copper windings. You got what you paid for. You could buy the small do it yourself unit or the copper 285 amp welder. As for buying a Miller or some other popular brand you best watch what you buy. Since. they also, build the dime store specials. I have had my Deere for almost 20 years. Still satisfied.

JD has often had different products made by other manufacturers to their stringent specs and JD label applied. probaly the real thing if you qualify a label as real. Consider the compact utility tractors that were made by Yanmar for JD, the chain saws made by I believe Echo at one time, etc.

John Deere DID market a welder in the 1970's, but did not manufacture it. I believe Century manufactured it for Deere. There were alot of other items that were sold with the Deere name on them (hand tools, chainsaws, bikes, toolboxes, high pressure washers, etc.). Deere never made any of these. They just put there name on it and charged 3 times more for it than it was worth. Unfotunately, most of this stuff was not the highest quality (I know the old chainsaws were not near the quality of a Stihl, Jonsered, Husqvarna, Sachs, etc). Some of this stuff may be collectable, to the right person, but if you're buying it to use it, such as this welder, save your money and buy a top notch one like a Miller.

A Mexican resturant is not a good choice for
Italian food. Many large corporations comission
OEM's to make private label products. While JD
non-tractors products may be of high quality (read high price and collectable), the best functional value is most often obtained by purchasing quality products with the OEM name on them.

I don't know anything about their chainsaws but I have one of those welders and beleive me it is over-priced junk.
