Don: Too late, John Deere has already done that using Oliver's 6 cylinder, Cockshutt's live PTO, IH's TA, Ferguson's 3 point hitch, etc. This is only a few of the items. There was an article in an issue of Antique Power Mag. about 5 years ago, listing all the components John Deere uses on it's modern day tractors. He found a least one idea from every manufacturer around in the early 1950's. Each idea came from the other companies. The article stated that John Deere developed no new ideas of their own, just did one heck of a good job perfecting and marketing everyone elses ideas.

I should still have that copy of magazine, I will see if I can find it in the morning, give you the complete list.
