No, Plevna was and still is a Massey Dealer.  I'm reasonably sure he never had A-C.  There was another dealer there that had Allis Chalmers .

My 8050 came from Greentown eq. at one point in it's life, the decal is old enough looking that it could have been original but not sure.

If you check at one of your local college libraries they will or should have copies of old farm magazines from the 50's, 60's, etc that will have all the dealers for a state in manufacturers ads.

How about Bernshausen's in Manito IL. And  Popejoy's in normandy IL. (Walnut)

Anthony, the Dealer in Helena Ok was Dettle Impl. I ran into him last July at a reunion we had in KC.

Dealers I remember in western Ohio are Steinke Imp Eaton, O. North Star Hardw. North Star, O. Coldwater Imp. Coldwater, O.  Garbig Bros. Jaysville, O. Willowdell Sales Co. near Versailles, O. Mendon Farm Store, Mendon, O. Also dealers in Ottawa, Payne, Continental, Marion, amd Bills Implement at Port Clinton, Ohio. I know there were a couple south of Columbus and there is a really good AGCO Allis dealer at Jeffersonville and Wilmington in Ohio. If I think of more I will add to this. Fred

Bump. I am attempting to put all the provided info into an Excel spread sheet. It will sure make make it easier if from this point on anyone providing info to try to list similar to this:

Dealer name(if known) City/Town State(Abreviated) Active status
Dealer name(if known) City/Town State(Abreviated) Active status
Dealer name(if known) City/Town State(Abreviated) Active status

      Ok to leave out ,. and such if you like.
I am as of now (2/2/10 6:45 am CST) caught up with info provided. If you have already posted in a different way, please don't repost them. Aready up to around 450 entries so far. Really dont want to enter any info more than once if possible. Someone may have to help me with the best way to post list when completed. Thanks, Eric in TN

Eric(IL),

Cordell's in Clay City,  Indiana is where my Dad did all of his business in the 40's through 60's.  Pigg Implement (Barney Pigg) bought them out by the early 70's and Dad went to them in Sullivan, Indiana. Randy Pigg now runs it and it is almost all New Holland and some Beuhler.  He still stocks a large supply if AC and Gleaner parts.

Schum Implement   Harvel Il.        Closed

"Keep those cards and letters coming, boys and girls". A few more Maine AC dealers:

Young Brothers - Surry, Maine Howard Young is still around and talking AC every chance he gets. And we listen.

Pillsbury in Waterville, Maine

Brackett and Shaw - Several locations Bangor, Augusta, Berwick, Maine.
                    They distributed AC in northern New England.    
                    Skip Kezar of Berwick worked for them. Skip
                    brought his Waukasua B to our Gathering of
                    the Orange in 2007.

Lets keep adding dealers as they come to mind.

In Alva Oklahoma the is Devery Implement Co. They are still open but not an Allis dealer.

Dad was a dealer in Blanchester Ohio in the 60's and 70's.  He sold Allis and New Holland and other short lines.  The name of his business began as Ledford Implement Store and Later became Ledford Equipment Co.  Before he was the owner it was Wheeler Implement, and before that it was Bash Implement.  Bash also had a store in Wilmington OH in the 40's or 50's.  Ray Townsend had an AC dealership just south of Wilmington OH for a time in the late 50's, early 60's.  That's where Grandpa's D-14, One-Ninety gas and E Gleaner came from.  Jim Atley had an Allis dealership east of Wilmington for a number of years in the 60's and 70's, maybe as far back as the 50's.
