Pretty certain some model of Deere did, seem to remember a long time friend that was a Deere mechanic talking about the exploding Kohlers. It wasn't long afterwards when Deere seemed to migrate toward Kawasaki. don't know if that was Deere's motivation but a lot of pissed off Cadet owners applauded the switch and jumped ship. Similar to what happened with the IH strike in the 70's. IH and Cadet are basically gone here.
