>If anyone wants some John Deere natural gas engines I can help direct
>interested parties to the Alternative Fuels Engines group of Deere Power
>Systems at Deere & Company.These engines are regular Deere diesel engines
>converted to use natural gas. They are sold for many road vehicle (i,e,
>busses and trucks) and stationary power applications. On CNG they have
>excellent torque curves (better than many competetive diesel engines of the
>same displacement!) and are extremely quiet.  Perhaps Deere Power Systems
>might be persuaded to do some testing on producer gas for potential
>customers if there was sufficient demand. I suspect that our big "green"
>Deere engines can run very well on any "green" fuel (i.e. bio-fuel)!
