There should be some 986's & 1486's too. I worked at FARMALL when all 3-4 batches of the TACO TRACTORS were built. I was responsible for ALL the tires, wheels, & rims, think I ordered the Spanish operator manuals too, plus the clutch disks & pressure plates, all the o-rings, and some other stuff. We were crazy busy building everything, so that 5-6 years later we could all be looking for work.
SON worked for the big construction equipment plant by the intersection of US Rt 67 and I-80, for TEN years, I've had people try to explain the way Deere's purchased part replenishment system works, and ALL I can say is it barely works, The plant SON worked at missed parts on the assembly line because welded assemblies couldn't be painted. SON was under the personal supervision of the plant manager for a couple months specifically to inspect incomplete endloaders that finally had the last parts installed so they could be shipped. THINK there was over 500 loaders short parts waiting to be completed and ship. At FARMALL that would have caused massive firings, you got the parts to the line on time or somebody ELSE would be doing your job tomorrow. We kept assembly going in spite major winter storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and we were greatly appreciated because of the dedication and Accept NO Excuses way we got parts in. IH actually bought our whole department and our spouces, and all our managers a fine dinner at the Plantation Restaurant as reward for our job well done winter of 1979 & 1980. I NEVER heard of anything like that at Deere. GUESS I never would have fit in at any Deere plant. NO way could IH ship something with a bunch of I owe you slips in place of missing parts. IT'S amazing how much better it is to Build it right the first time than to rework it a couple times before it ships.
