Well as long as this thread is still going ... My great uncle was the silent partner (money) for the AC dealership in Wellsville, NY before, during and after the war. Schoonover was the dealership. My grandfather bought a new WC from them in '46. They had a couple buildings, my dad cut one apart with a chainsaw and put it up on the farm, it was our garage the add posters were still on the wall. Sometime in the 50's they sold to Paul F Culbert and sons. My dad bought a new D15 in April of '62, i came along in June the same year. Culberts went out in the late 2000's. Was frends of the family ... great people.

Here in Iowa it seemed like every town with a population over 200 people had an AC dealership. Within 18 miles of where I grew up, there were 3 dealerships.

I remember the A-C dealership in Washington Boro, and found your post while looking for any details about it.
My recollections as a young child... 2 Story wooden building with a coal or wood stove. Wooden floors, Closed in the early to mid 70's. When they closed, we need to go to the north of Lancaster to the next nearest dealer. They also closed perhaps 10 years later. I can't recall any names or addresses, or any more details. If you have found any, message me.

My family had a small Allis dealer for a few years here in SW Pennsylvania. Sold Fordson for awhile as well. Sadly, there is a grand sum of 0 pieces of literature or anything like that remaining from that dealership.
After the family dealership closed down, Miller Brothers in Springs, PA was were all our stuff came from.

Hendersons in Columbia MO. was something else before Lance bought it in the '60s or '70s. I remember being there with dad when it was on old 63 north when brakes started squalling and I stepped out next to the pile of chain saws and mowers in front. tractor trailer took to the dirt shoulder to keep from rear ending a car trying to turn left into the trailer park next door. Hanging meat; truck came to a stop , lifted roadside wheels off the ground, set down, picked back up and entire rig flopped over! driver popped up out of his door like a prairie dog---MAD. family had WD's D15, D17, 180, and 190xt(now daughter's) bunch of implements and a Gleaner.

Rainforth was the AC dealer in Greeley during the 50s and at least to mid 60s. Dad bought a new D15 from Rainforth in 63. We had it repaired once at I believe an AC dealer in Fort Collins. In the 40s, I believe there was an AC dealer in Nunn Co. but don't know the name. Dad bought a C from them.

Ohio Allis Chalmers Dealers, March 1977
I found this Magazine Page posted on here back in February 20, 2019. taAdams(OH) Shared this information with me in another topic: "Puster's AC was east of Ashland on 250, Stinmentz was in Loudonville and there was a big dealer in Wooster. Allis Chalmers is always our biggest showing of equipment. Puster's was out east of Ashland, Fin, Feather, Fur was in it before they built the present building" Does anyone know anything about Strasburg, OHIO having an AC Dealer? Location? Where the one was in Bolivar, OHIO located? The AC Dealer in Wooster was behind the Fairgrounds, Swift Auto Parts Building. That would have been the sight to see back in the 60 and 70's AC Dealer, IH Dealer, Oliver Dealer, up the road, around the Wayne County Fairgrounds. Edited by btred1466 - 21 Sep 2021 at 10:06pm |

There was one on County H near Cuba City, WI. I don't know the name. There is an Dealer out on the Highway near Platteville WI that I believe is the same dealer that was on H. Last time I was over that way it was still open. That woulda been 2011. There is one that is still operating, west of Ann Arbor MI. Diuble is the name, spelling? I rebuilt my 5020 mower from the parts I got from them. I also got all of the D14 manuals from them. When I was over in Ontario, east of Sarnia it seemed there was one on every country road you drove down.

Funny you mention Marshalltown Iowa, when I worked at Maytag in Jefferson City- there used to be a trucking company -Midland- and the driver was Howard Mason, he ran the transfers back and forth from Newton Iowa to JC, then Maytag moved our factory to Mexico and later I heard Midland may have closed up too small world sometimes

Dad bought a used 200 from Kings back in the day. In the late 90s we drove by the old dealership after it was closed and King was outside. He showed us the old dealership building, gave me a bunch of old allis chalmers pens that were in a drawer in the shop and even gave me an orange cap dealer poster that was still up on the shop wall. It was a great day for young allis chalmers fan like myself.

The ones we did business with were Hancock Farm Equip which at one time had stores in Herman, Tekamah and Blair Nebraska and Mahnke Implement in Fremont Nebraska. King Implement became Summit Lake Implement was in Tekamah after Hancock's moved everything to Blair. So we had three AC dealers within 25 miles of us.
