Detroit Diesel and John Deere almost joined forces back in the mid eighties to market Diesel engines.The ag economy was in the tank for John Deere and Detroit Diesel wasn't doing so great either.By March of 87 a few ads were printed with the name of the new company,Detroit Deere Corporation.It fell apart shortly after that when someone else beat Deere to it.It would have been interesting to see what might have happened.
