Item 5.    Other Information Events.

    John Deere Capital Corporation's (JDCC's) net income was
$40.5 million for the third quarter and $109.1 million for the
first nine months of 2000, compared with $50.2 million and
$124.1 million, respectively, last year. These decreases were
primarily due to lower income from the sale of retail notes and
higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher income on
a larger average receivable and lease portfolio.

    Net receivables and leases financed by JDCC were $7.783
billion at July 31, 2000, compared with $7.170 billion one year
ago. The increase resulted from acquisitions exceeding
collections during the last twelve months. This was partially
offset by sales of retail notes during the same period. Net
receivables and leases administered, which include receivables
previously sold, totaled $9.981 billion at July 31, 2000,
compared with $9.391 billion at July 31, 1999.
