Any guesses? 40, 50, or 75% ????
None of the above is the correct answer. And this answer is not probably a totaly clear picture, or should I say fair picture.
The reason I say not a fair picture is because when JD purchases parts, such as seats, starters etc., their is indeed a certian amount of labor involved that this picture does not reflect.
I know a lady who worked in JD in the mid 90's and she could loose her job for leaking information so no details will be exposed.
I can't trust my memory either 100%, but I'm reasonably sure it was approx 12-13%. She claimed research and development was a very big chunk of the pie. And for all who wonder???? She was not a on the clock wage earner.
And you probably ask if her type of ---LABOR---was included in that number???? Sorry, I never thought to ask at the time. She and I no longer comunicate as she married and moved away. As I understand her husband is not the trusting type, and rather she not comunicate with her past friends. By the way, as far as looks goes...She was hotter than ANY hands down...YES... ANY JOHN DEERE TRACTOR!!!OH YEA...She should have been a keeper.
