EXHIBIT 10.2

                                    GUARANTY

TO:      JOHN DEERE CONSTRUCTION & FORESTRY COMPANY

         DEERE CREDIT, INC.

         JOHN DEERE COMPANY, A DIVISION OF DEERE & CO.

         6400 NW 86TH STREET

         JOHNSTON, IOWA 50131-6600

In consideration of your extension of credit to RDO Agriculture Equipment Co.,
RDO Construction Equipment Co., RDO Financial Services Co. and RDO Material
Handling Co., their successors and assigns (collectively referred to as the
"Debtor"), pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement executed
contemporaneously herewith, the undersigned unconditionally guarantees payment
of whatever sums the Debtor shall at any time owe you, your successors or
assigns or any company affiliated with you, whenever incurred (including
subsequent to the date of this Guaranty), including interest, finance charges,
or service charges thereon, and including reasonable attorneys' fees and all
court costs incurred in collecting such sums (such amounts are referred to as
the "Indebtedness"). You shall be under no obligation to pursue or exhaust any
of your remedies against the principal debtor, any other obligor or any other
guarantor(s), or of enforcing any rights against any collateral for said
indebtedness prior to enforcing payment hereunder by the undersigned guarantors.

This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection, and Guarantor agrees that
you shall not be obligated prior to seeking recourse against or receiving
payment from Guarantor, to do any of the following (although you may do so, in
whole or in part, at its sole option), the performance of which are
unconditionally waived by Guarantor:

     (a)  Take any steps to collect the Indebtedness from Debtor or to file any
          claim of any kind against Debtor; or

     (b)  Take any steps to enforce, accept, perfect your interest in, foreclose
          upon, or realize on any collateral security for the payment of the
          Indebtedness or any other guaranty of the Indebtedness; or

     (c)  Take any steps to collect the Indebtedness from any other guarantor or
          to file any claim of any kind against such other guarantors; or

     (d)  In any other respect exercise any diligence whatever in collecting or
          attempting to collect the Indebtedness by any means.

Guarantor's liability for payment of the Indebtedness shall be absolute and
unconditional, and nothing except full payment to you of all of the Indebtedness
shall operate to discharge Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty. Guarantor
unconditionally and irrevocably waives each and every defense that under
principles of guaranty or suretyship law would otherwise operate to impair or
diminish the liability of Guarantor for the Indebtedness. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing waiver, Guarantor agrees that none of the following
acts, omissions, or occurrences shall diminish or impair the liability of
Guarantor in any respect (all of which acts, omissions or occurrences may be
done without notice to Guarantor):

     (a)  Any extension, modification, indulgence, compromise, settlement, or
          variation of any of the terms of the Indebtedness;

     (b)  The discharge or release of any obligations of the Debtor or of any
          other person now or hereafter liable on the Indebtedness by reason of
          bankruptcy or insolvency laws or otherwise;

<PAGE>

     (c)  The acceptance or release by you of any collateral security or any
          other Guaranty, or any settlement, compromise or extension with
          respect to any collateral security or other Guaranty;

     (d)  The application or allocation by you of payments, collections, or
          credits on the Indebtedness or any other obligations of the Debtor to
          you;

     (e)  The creation of any new Indebtedness by Debtor;

     (f)  The making of demand, or absence of demand, for payment of the
          Indebtedness, or giving, or failing to give, any notice of dishonor or
          protest, or any other notice.

     Guarantor unconditionally waives:

     (a)  Any subrogation to your rights against Debtor until the indebtedness
          has been paid in full;

     (b)  Any set-off or counterclaims against you which would impair or affect
          your rights against Guarantor;

     (c)  Any defenses related to the validity or enforceability of any
          documentation executed by Debtor or by Guarantor in connection with
          the Indebtedness.

This guaranty is to take effect without notice of its acceptance, which notice
is waived, and is to be a continuing guaranty in full force and effect until the
effective date of a written notice of revocation delivered to you either
personally or by Registered or Certified Mail. It is understood and agreed that
the effective date of any such revocation shall be 90 days after your receipt of
such notice, and that such revocation shall not discharge the obligation of the
undersigned guarantor(s) with respect to indebtedness incurred by the principal
debtor prior to said effective date of revocation.

The undersigned guarantor consents and agrees that your books and records
showing the account, obligations, and indebtedness of the principal debtor shall
be admissible in evidence and shall be binding upon the undersigned guarantor
for the purpose of establishing the items set forth, and shall constitute prima
facie proof.

The foregoing constitutes the complete guaranty agreement, there being no other
representations or warranties made, and such guaranty cannot be altered, changed
or amended in any way except by an instrument in writing signed by your duly
authorized officer.

This Guaranty and all rights and obligations hereunder, including matters of
construction, validity and performance, shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Iowa.

THIS GUARANTY IS FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY GIVEN TO YOU BY GUARANTOR, WITHOUT
DURESS OR COERCION, AND AFTER GUARANTOR HAS EITHER CONSULTED WITH LEGAL COUNSEL
OR HAS BEEN GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO, AND GUARANTOR HAS FULLY AND CAREFULLY
READ AND UNDERSTANDS ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS GUARANTY.

 EXHIBIT 10.41 
  
 NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION 
  
 2001
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN 
  
 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION 
  
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
  
 1.    The Grantee is entitled at the time or times designated in paragraph 4 hereof but before the close of business on the day before the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Expiration
Date”) to purchase and receive from the Company the maximum number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth above upon exercise of this Option, all subject, however, to the terms and conditions stated herein and in the Northrop
Grumman 2001 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), and any rules or guides to administration adopted by the Company’s Compensation and Management Development Committee or any successor committee
appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors to administer the Plan (the “Committee”) in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, the Plan’s 2001 Guide to Administration (the “Guide”). 

 
 2.    This Option is non-transferable and non-assignable and may be exercised solely by the Grantee or a
duly appointed guardian or personal representative, except as provided in paragraph 3 hereof in the event of the death of the Grantee. This Option shall not be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
  
 3.    This Option shall terminate if and when the Grantee
ceases to be an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, except as follows: 
  
 (i)  If the Grantee Retires (as defined below), dies, or is Disabled (as defined below) while employed by the Company or a subsidiary, the next succeeding vesting installment of this Option shall vest; provided, however,
that if the Grantee retires at or after attaining age 65 with at least 10 years of service, all unvested installments under this Option will vest. In either case, all installments under this Option which have vested at retirement may be exercised by
the Grantee (or, in the case of the Grantee’s death, by the Grantee’s successor) until the fifth anniversary of the Grantee’s Retirement, death, or Disability, whichever first occurs, but in no event after the Expiration Date.

  
 (ii)  Subject to the following sentence, if the employment of the Grantee with the
Company or a subsidiary is terminated for any reason other than the Grantee’s death, Retirement or Disability, this Option may be exercised (as to not more than the number of shares as to which the Grantee might have exercised this Option on
the date on which his or her employment terminated) only within 90 days from the date of such termination of employment, but in no event after the Expiration Date; provided, however, that if the Grantee is dismissed by the Company or a subsidiary
for cause, of which the Committee shall be the sole judge, this Option shall expire forthwith. If the Grantee dies within 90 days after a termination of employment described in the preceding sentence (other than a termination by the Company or a
subsidiary for cause), this Option may be exercised by the Grantee’s successor for one year from the date of the Grantee’s death, but in no event after the Expiration Date and as to not more than the number of shares as to which the
Grantee might have exercised this Option on the date on which his or her employment by the Company or a subsidiary terminated. 
  
 (iii)  For purposes of this instrument, “Disabled” means disabled pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s (or one of its subsidiary’s) Long Term Disability Plan
applicable to the Grantee; or, if the Grantee is not covered by such a Long Term Disability Plan, the incapacity of the Grantee, due to injury, illness, disease, or bodily or mental infirmity, to engage in the performance of substantially all of the
usual duties of employment with the Company or the subsidiary which employs the Grantee, such disability to be determined by the Committee upon receipt and in reliance on competent medical advice from one or more individuals, selected by the
Committee, who are qualified to give such professional medical advice. For purposes of this instrument, “Retire” means that the Grantee terminates employment after attaining age 55 with at least 10 years of service (other than in
connection with a termination by the Company or a subsidiary for cause). 
 

 1 

 4.    Subject to the earlier vesting and/or termination of this Option pursuant to paragraph 3 or
paragraph 8 hereof, this Option shall become exercisable as to 25 percent of the total number of shares set forth above on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, and on each succeeding anniversary of the Date of Grant this Option shall become
exercisable as to an additional 25 percent of the total number of shares so that on the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant this Option shall be exercisable in full. Subject to the earlier vesting and/or termination of this Option pursuant to
paragraph 3 or paragraph 8 hereof, this Option may be exercised to the extent that it is exercisable in accordance with the foregoing at any time up to the Expiration Date. 
  
 5.    In order to exercise this Option, the Grantee or such other person as may be entitled to exercise the same shall (i) execute and deliver to the
Corporate Secretary of the Company a written notice indicating the number of shares subject to this Option to be exercised, and/or (ii) complete such other exercise procedure as may be prescribed by the Corporate Secretary of the Company. The date
of exercise of this Option shall be the day such notice is received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company or the day such exercise procedures are satisfied, as applicable; provided that in no event shall this Option be considered to have been
exercised unless the per share exercise price of this Option is paid in full (or provided for in accordance with the following sentence) for each of the shares to be acquired on such exercise and all required tax withholding obligations with respect
to such exercise have been satisfied or provided for in accordance with paragraph 8 hereof. The purchase price shall be paid in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee and on such terms and conditions as the Corporate Secretary of the
Company may prescribe, either in whole or in part in Common Stock of the Company (either actually or by attestation and valued at their fair market value on the date of exercise of this Option as defined in paragraph 6 hereof) or pursuant to a
cashless exercise arranged through a broker or other third party. 
  
 6.    The fair market value
of the shares of Common Stock of the Company on the date of exercise of this Option shall be the closing price in the composite tape of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on such date, or, if there was no trading on such date, the
closing price on the next preceding date on which there was trading in such shares; provided, however, the Committee in determining such fair market value may utilize such other exchange, market, or listing as it deems appropriate. For purposes of a
cashless exercise, the fair market value of the shares shall be the price at which the shares in payment of the exercise price are sold. 
  
 7.    The issue and sale of shares of stock upon any exercise of this Option is further subject to full compliance with all then applicable requirements of law, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California, or other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the Company and its shares, and of any exchanges upon which stock of the Company may be listed. The Grantee shall not have the rights and
privileges of a stockholder with respect to shares subject to or purchased under this Option until the date appearing on the certificate(s) issued upon the exercise of this Option. 
  
 8.    The number and price of shares subject to this Option are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of events such as stock splits, stock
dividends and other changes in capitalization in accordance with Section 6 of the Plan. In the event of any adjustment, the Company will give the Grantee written notice thereof which will set forth the nature of the adjustment. Except as set forth
below in this paragraph 8, the Grantee’s rights with respect to this Option in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) shall be determined under Section 6 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the acceleration provisions of paragraph 3
hereof but subject to the limited exercise periods set forth therein, further subject to the Company’s ability to terminate this Option in connection with a Change in Control in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of the Plan, and
further subject to the exceptions set forth in Section X of the Guide, this Option shall become fully exercisable as of the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment if either within the Protected Period (as defined in the Guide)
corresponding to a Change in Control of the Company or within twenty-four (24) calendar months following the date of a Change in Control of the Company, the Grantee’s employment by the Company and its subsidiaries is involuntarily terminated by
the Company and its subsidiaries for reasons other than Cause (as defined in Section X of the Guide) or by the Grantee for Good Reason (as defined in Section X of the Guide). 
 

 2 

 9.    The vesting of this Option requires continued employment through each vesting date as a
condition to the vesting of the corresponding installment of this Option. Employment before or between the specified vesting dates, even if substantial, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of
rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment. Subject to the leave of absence provisions of the Guide, the term “employment” as used herein means active employment by the Company or one of its subsidiaries and salary
continuation without active employment will not, in and of itself, constitute “employment” for purposes hereof (in the case of salary continuation without active employment, the participant’s cessation of active employee status shall
be deemed to be a termination of “employment” for purposes hereof). Nothing contained in this instrument, the Plan, or the Guide constitutes an employment commitment by the Company or any subsidiary, affects the Grantee’s status (if
the Grantee is otherwise an at-will employee) as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary, or interferes in any way with the right
of the Company or of any subsidiary to terminate such employment at any time. 
  
 10.    The
Company or the subsidiary which employs the Grantee shall be entitled to require, as a condition of issuing shares upon exercise of this Option, that the Grantee or other person exercising this Option pay any sums required to be withheld by federal,
state or local tax law with respect to the exercise of this Option. Alternatively, the Company or such subsidiary, in its discretion, may make such provisions for the withholding of any taxes as it deems appropriate. 
  
 11.    The Company will pay all federal and state transfer taxes, if any, and other fees and expenses in connection
with the issuance of shares upon exercise of this Option. 
  
 12.    The Company may, for all
purposes, regard the Grantee as the holder of this Option until written notice of transfer pursuant to paragraph 3 hereof in connection with the Grantee’s death has been given to and received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company.

  
 13.    The Committee has the discretionary authority to determine any questions as to the
date when the Grantee’s employment terminated and the cause of such termination and to interpret any provision of this instrument, the Plan, the Guide, and any other applicable rules or guides to administration. Any action taken by, or inaction
of, the Committee relating to or pursuant to this instrument, the Plan, the Guide, or any other applicable rules or guides to administration shall be within the absolute discretion of the Committee and shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

  
 14.    This Option was granted under the Plan. This Option is governed by, and the
Grantee’s rights are subject to, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Guide, and any other rules or regulations adopted by the Committee, as the foregoing may be amended from time to time. The Grantee shall have no rights with
respect to any amendment of this instrument, the Plan or the Guide unless such amendment is in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.
