Question: Who was the founder of the company that manufactures agricultural,construction, forest machinery, diesel engines, drivetrains used in heavy equipment, and lawn care equipment?

<P0-S0>  Born in Detroit, Michigan, he received his undergraduate education at Trinity College (Connecticut), where he was a member of St. Anthony Hall, and his MBA from Harvard. <P0-S1> Hans Walter Becherer (April 19, 1935 – October 6, 2016) was an American business executive. <P0-S2>  He became president of John Deere in 1987 and led the Company as CEO from 1989 to 2000 following the financial farm crisis of the 1980s. <P0-S3>  In 1990 Becherer also became chairman of John Deere's board when Robert Hanson retired. <P0-S4>  Under Becherer's tenure the company became a diversified, global competitor. <P0-S5>  By 1998 around 25% of Deere & Company sales revenues came from outside the United States and almost 50% of its product mix was non-agricultural. <P0-S6>  Robert W. Lane was elected to replace Becherer as CEO upon his retirement in 2000. <SEP> <P1-S0> Allis-Chalmers was a U.S. manufacturer of machinery for various industries. <P1-S1>  Its business lines included agricultural equipment, construction equipment, power generation and power transmission equipment, and machinery for use in industrial settings such as factories, flour mills, sawmills, textile mills, steel mills, refineries, mines, and ore mills. <P1-S2>  The first Allis-Chalmers Company was formed in 1901 as an amalgamation of the Edward P. Allis Company (steam engines and mill equipment), Fraser & Chalmers (mining and ore milling equipment), the Gates Iron Works (rock and cement milling equipment), and the industrial business line of the Dickson Manufacturing Company (engines and compressors). <P1-S3>  It was reorganized in 1912 as the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company. <P1-S4>  During the next 70 years its industrial machinery filled countless mills, mines, and factories around the world, and its brand gained fame among consumers mostly from its farm equipment business's orange tractors and silver combine harvesters. <P1-S5>  In the 1980s and 1990s a series of divestitures transformed the firm and eventually dissolved it. <P1-S6>  Its successors today are Allis-Chalmers Energy and AGCO. <SEP> <P2-S0> Deere & Company (brand name John Deere) is an American corporation that manufactures agricultural, construction, and forestry machinery, diesel engines, drivetrains (axles, transmissions, gearboxes) used in heavy equipment, and lawn care equipment. <P2-S1>  In 2017, it was listed as 105th in the "Fortune" 500 America's ranking and was ranked 407th in the global ranking. <P2-S2>  John Deere also provides financial services and other related activities. <SEP> <P3-S0> This article covers the History of Sulzer diesel engines from 1898 to 1997. <P3-S1>  Sulzer Brothers foundry was established in Winterthur, Switzerland, in 1834 by Johann Jakob Sulzer-Neuffert and his two sons, Johann Jakob and Salomon. <P3-S2>  Products included cast iron, firefighting pumps and textile machinery. <P3-S3>  Co-operation with Rudolf Diesel led to the construction of the first Sulzer diesel engine in 1898. <P3-S4>  In 2015, the Sulzer company lives on but it no longer manufactures diesel engines, having sold the diesel engine business to Wärtsilä in 1997.
