Allis Dealers

I can't think of the name LaRock Implement or something, was a Deutz-Allis dealer in the 1980's in Kasson MN (actually just West of Kasson). Never really took off and closed a few years after it opened. Anyone remember if that was the name?

Also long before that there was an Allis Chalmers dealer in Kasson, near the railroad tracks. Very small they dealt in New Holland and Dodge too. My Dad thinks the name was Englested or Engsted or something close to that. Maybe started with an I. My Uncle Verlyn bought a new D14 there. It later changed to Patterson and they dropped Allis or at the switch over Allis wasn't picked up and then for a short while Patterson took on Massey Ferguson. Another Uncle bought two new Massey Ferguson snowmobiles there and he still has them somewhere in a shed. I think they were completely out of the farm implement business by the 80's. And in the 1980's they were just an independent used car dealership. A printing shop stands there now.

I wish I had more information on the two I just listed.

Marzolf Implement listed on page one is still going today in Spring Valley MN.

Hammell Equipment (The Hammell brothers bought the Allis Chalmers dealer there in 1976) in Chatfield MN took on CaseIH right after Deutz got its hands on Allis and slowly switched their customer base over to CaseIH. They still handle AGCO parts but gave up the equipment line back in the late 1980's or early 1990's. They opened an Allis Chalmers dealership in 1978 in Rushford and they still handle AGCOO parts there and they bought out the AGCO dealer, Deters Implement in Eitzen MN in 2008. I'm not sure if they handle any AGCO equipment anymore at any of these sights. Just parts as far as I know and CASEIH equipment. I really don't know why AGCO allowed this to happen. Deere would never allowed it.

Peterson Implement in Blooming Prairie Mn, where I worked from April 1991 to December 1994, closed in 1997 and became a NAPA store and shop and today because of additions and remodels is unrecognizable today.

I tried to post updated information on local dealers last night but my puter booted me before I hit enter. So i’m Going ad a little at a time over the next few days.

There was an Allis dealer in Hayfield Mn way before my time. I don’t know the name but it was out of a small repair garage type operation. I’ll have to ask one of my uncles about it.

There was also a dealer in Brownsdale Mn that became an independent repair shop sometime in the 60’s or 70’s. I think it was called something like Jensen Sales??? Became Jensen Repair and I think he retired in the 90’s due to health.

Meier Implement South   Wi.  50's to early 60's along with dealers in Warren Il New Glarus Wi. Argyle, Wi. Albion WI.  and a distribution warehouse in Madison, Wi.

I remember driving there for the fun of driving when I first got my drivers license in the mid 1980s. They had a big 8550 on the lot. For me it was quite a sight.

    I forgot one other local Allis Chalmers dealer from the original post; JOHNSON FARM SUPPLY, Staunton, Il.
