I don't know where these pistons were made, but if I bought from Deere, I still wouldn't know. I came across a Chinese website last week that is making all kinds of engine parts for older U.S. diesels. Of all things, they're making pistons and sleeves for my Buda 344 engine in my Allis Chalmers HD6 dozer. So, who knows what you're getting whereever you buy? I just bought some machine-shop tools from McMaster - and one large tap I got (1 1/2" X 6) was made in Bosnia and Hergo... - something or other, and a large die was made in Ireland. That took me by surprise. I didn't think either of those places were into manufacturing. I remember back to Henry Ford and the Fordson tractor, and all the problems he had with the Irish built Fordson tractors and a bad heat-treating process. Yeah, I know this is many years later - but can I assume the Chinese have quality in mind when making parts for us? When they start making missles at $15 apiece, we're going to be in trouble (if they work).
