What does a connecting rod do in a John Deere wheel loader engine?

A connecting rod links the piston to the crankshaft and turns combustion force into the rotation that runs the engine. In a wheel loader it carries heavy loads on every power stroke, which is why rods are commonly replaced during an engine rebuild. Broken Tractor offers rods for 4045 and 6068 PowerTech engines to support rebuilds and individual rod replacement.

How are Broken Tractor connecting rods for John Deere wheel loaders made?
