Now would be a good time to list examples!
"OK" i will... I was helping a friend work on his John Deere combine head, all of the replacement parts came in boxes that said "Made in China" on them... I know the guy behind the parts counter for my local deere dealer... He had a huge bearing order come in... He showed me that nearly EVERY ONE of the bearings were from China....
And, i bet most of you here thought "John Deere" ment American made!!!

In 1988 I bought an S-10 blazer Tahoe with 4.3 eng which isUS made, butthe 2.8 eng ismade in Japan.Which I still have!
