Undercarriage coating
Eliminates Bushing Turns

What this heavy equipment supplier calls a "metallurgical breakthrough" may cut undercarriage costs significantly on crawler dozers. Bushings coated with the new SC-2 technology are compatible with existing John Deere dozers as well as several other brands, the producer says. The coating offers corrosion-resistance similar to chrome plating but is 25% harder. During the manufacturer’s three-year field test, the SC-2 coating showed twice the wear-resistance of typical bushings. Deere & Co.; 309/765-8000; www.deere.com
