I've been waiting to respond with names in hopes that my memory would improve but it's not happening so I'll post what I know and try to update the rest later.
In eastern North Carolina:
Newport NC, Simmons tractor. Last time I went by there they were still in business as a Simplicity dealer and were still working on some AC's and Gleaners but the owner is getting on up in years.
Greenville NC, Hendrix-Barnhill. Closed down about the same time AC did.
Williamston NC, Mark Chesson and Sons. Still in business as a New Holland dealer.
Very knowlegeable on all things AC and still working on some Orange stuff last time I was by there.

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.

Guthrie Farm Equipment (my families old dealership)
Lowes in Chickasha.
Dettle was the dealer in Helena.
Johnsons of Kingfisher.
Simer (sp) in Blackwell.
Hinericks (sp) Imp in Billings
Adams Equipment in Medford
Goforth Imp in Okeene
Christinson (sp) in Thomas
There was also a dealer in Stillwater and one in Norman but pop couldnt remember their names.
My father is going to get a list together of the old dealerships that he can remember.
We still have 2 or 3 wooden crate pallets full of NOS parts from the 60s-80s that we are going to start going through. I found a nearly new 190 bar grille grille in the rafters the other day, dad said they removed it from a tractor that was only a year or 2 old when the back half burnt from a baler bearing going out and catching the hay on fire.

A few more names for West Cental OH and Northeastern Indiana: Ottawa or maybe Ottoville, Ohio was Wannemacher's; Continental and Payne, OH were Homier & Sons. Homier's in Payne then became an AGCO dealer. Northeastern Indiana had Harlan Implement Sales and Clem Hardware in Monroeville.

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.
In the late 50's and early 60's there was at one time an AC, and IH and John Deere and Oliver dealer all in Clay City within 5 blocks of each other . This was a small town with a high school of abot 220. Farmers got bigger real fast and so did dealers. High school is still about the same size maybe 280.

"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. Bob@allisdowneast |

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.
