Back in the 60s there were 5 dealers within 40 miles of where I grew up in SW MO. They were in Golden City, Liberal, Stockton, Carthage, and Nevada.

Frost Motors in Mwchanicsburg Ohio sold Cars on one half of the lot and AC's on the other half. There was also one 15 miles down the road in Urbana, Ohio Lantz's sales and equipment still in business today as an AGCO parts distributor. Other than that I think the closest AGCO equipment dealer is over an hour away and thats Mayers in Jeffersonville

Allis-Chalmers dealers in Arllington (Hancock County) Ohio were Oscar Wolford trading as Wolford Implement Sales--later sold to Merrritt Gehrisch as Gehrisch Implement Sales--then sold to Everett Smith and doing business as Smith Farm Implement. The dealers listed encompassed 50 years of business , from 1936-1986. Fond memories as a kid watching them unload Gleaner combines from railroad flat cars on the Akron, Canton & Youngstown Railway. Three generations buying and using Orange!

I don't have a list for GA, but I do know about these. There was a dealership on North Hospital Road in Sandersville after my Uncle and Dad closed there deapership, but I don't remember the name. It was there when the tractors became Deutz-Allis. I remember the green tractors. There isn't an AGCO dealer anwhere around me. That is strange since AGCO is based in Duluth GA. The tractor in my avatar was sold by my dad, and I got it back. Anderson Brothers Equipmet, Sandersville GA. (Closed) (Ran by my Uncle and Dad) Walker Rhodes Equipment, Perry GA. (Now New Holland I think, AGCO parts dealer)

Think for yourself and be your own expert. Be willing to change your mind; however, willingness to change your mind doesn’t mean that you will. Blindly following any path is the pinnacle of insanity.

Foley MN, the building I work in was once a gas station that sold Allis Chalmers. The gas station part lasted longer than the Allis endeavor, and in about 78 the gas station closed and the store has been an auto parts store ever since. Wruck was the name of the station owners before my employer bought the building, but I do not know the prior history.

An old tractor lover ,Gene Vande Brake told me that Cambier Bros sold Allis Chalmers out of their GM dealership around 1930 to 1935. That building is still located on Central St. in downtown Orange City. Your 10-40 more than likely came from their dealership.

I'm still waiting on someone to postthe name of the allis dealer that was located in Portland Indiana. Don't know when they closed down as it occurred after I joined A. F. in 1965 and I lost out on a lot of info since I haven't spent a lot of time up there since. Memory seems to be a little short also. LOL

Growing up in Indiana, I only knew of 1 neighbor that owned an AC tractor. I cannot remember ever seeing an Allis Chalmers dealership. I have only seen 1 Agco Tractor and that was a demo that a neighbor was trying, he didn't buy it. I have never seen an Agco dealership. But my 190XT has a decal from H&B in Plymouth Indiana.

Bob, I Googled Portland In Allis Chalmers dealer and got this.
Welcome To Portland Implement
Cashton, WI | Feel free to visit us at our website - www.portlandimplement.com In 1979 we purchased an existing Allis Chalmers dealership that had been in business for 20 years. The location at the time was in the town of Portland on the corner of CTY RD X and HWY 33. As business grew, thanks to our loyal customers, so did the need for more space. In 1999, Portland Implement moved to our new location at the intersection of HWY 33 and HWY 27 in Cashton. We have sold and serviced Allis Chalmers equipment ever since day one, but our product line has grown and we now carry more than 15 different lines. Including AGCO, Bush Hog, Gehl, Great Plains, Kubota, Landoll, Land Pride, Massey Ferguson, and Versatile just to name a few! In addition to farm implements, we carry lawn and garden equipment, ATV's and Utility Vehicles, accessories and countless parts.

Some VA dealers I know of:
Harman's in Harrisonburg, VA an early dealer, granddad bought our '47 WC there and they went out of business I'd say in the '60's.
Valley Implement sales in Harrisonburg, VA still in business. Started in mid '60's selling Allis-chalmers and Bobcats. sold green DA, and then dropped agco line and went with kubota after that.
Louderback Implement in Stanley, VA still in business. started in '47 I believe. New holland dealer today.
There was a dealer in Elkwood, VA sold out about 10 years ago. Seemed to have a good supply of older AC parts at the auction.
Elkton Tractor in Elkton, VA out of business. Sold AC along with other brands and short lines. bought our D17 ser. II new from here. granddad got the trip to Milwaukee in '62.
A dealer in Fairfield, VA out of business.
also, My terra-tiger has a decal with Desper's outdoor power equipment in Charlottesville, VA I'm not sure what all they sold other than my terra-tiger!
also an interesting note: I went to Ohio and got some side panels for my 7030 and on the one panel has Huck Creighton's from IL.. as IL gleaner posted... "see huck and save a buck!"
