 Topic: Batavia Warehouse
Posted: 03 Apr 2018 at 6:06pm |

I see that Allis's main warehouse was in Batavia. Is the current AGCO warehouse at the same address? I was looking at it on Google, and see out behind the place looks like some shelving, and also scrap? What do they store outside?

I have a Batavia story: My cousin lived in Itasca and was a solid AC man. WHen they closed Batavia he went there and saw 5 CA engines in crates. He tried to buy them. THey would not sell them as they said they were already sold for scrap.

It's my understanding that the Batavia parts where house was one of Allis Chalmers newest buildings and there fore one of the few that survived the transition to Allis Gleaner Co

I think they also kept some parts storage in the caves in Kansas City, MO.
