Missouri AC Dealers

I’m asking for your help. Our local club in Adrian Missouri is hosting the Gathering of the Orange in 2023. I am wanting to compile a list of every AC dealer we had in our state. If you wouldn’t mind please post here any dealers you are aware of and if you know of any living relatives or employees who I could contact for some more detailed history I would greatly appreciate it.

Isn't there something already done like this?

I think Baker Equipment in Mexico, Mo was a dealer in the 60’s. I also have a bullet pencil that says Allis-Chalmers Tractors and Machinery, Hughes & Long Equipment Co., 1103 Hi-way 15, Mexico, Mo. I have never heard of them and live 20 miles from Mexico and been out hwy 15 many times. I noticed no zip code so proly before 1963

Does anyone remember the dealers name at Liberty, Mo. during the 30’s? Seems like might have been Wrisinger? That is where my Grandpa’s WC came from.

I think it was Reisinger Implement in Independence not far from the Gleaner plant? I own a D-19 diesel that was sold new there in 1963..The man I bought it from earlier this year bought it used there in 1966 with 600 some hours on it..

More dealers that haven't been mentioned...

Wallace then Shuberts in Butler,MO

Harvey Impl Co in Harrisonville,MO

A&H in Drexel,MO

Schoen in Freistatt,MO became JD dealers in 80's

George Implement Co then Kottwitz Farm Supply in Osceola,MO

?????? Fairview,MO bought a UC Allis there in 1976-may have been out of business

Diamond Tractor in Diamond,MO the sign was still there a few years ago

Larry Furnell??? in Sedalia,MO he used to pull a 180 Allis

If I could find it I have a 1962 Successful Farming magazine that had an extensive list of Missouri AC dealers..

I know there was a dealer in Cameron, Mo. but don’t know the name.

Bharper, You are correct on the Howard Buick being an Allis dealer at the time.

Our families are personal friends.

It's where dad got our Gleaner A and later on the XT3.

Side story: at dad's funeral, us boys and cousins were riding in the hearse to the cemetery and the driver visiting with us a little about how he knew dad.

Come to find out, he was the mechanic at the car and tractor dealership and told us, if he recalled correctly, that dad had the first (big) self propelled combine in the county as he could cut a 12' swath!

There's a Howard Machine Shop, or was, ran by David Howard.

His brother, Steve, stayed in the car business, I think.

They're still around Carthage, the last I knew of and it wouldn't take me long to verify.

Also, there was an AC dealer up at Golden City ran by the Bishops.

It was called Crossroads Tractor and Imp. according to this planter manual from 4/22/80.

Seems to me that it was called Bishop's Tractor and Implement before the name was changed as they took on other brands

It's about 5 miles east of town on the main highway.

They're in Adam Stratton's back yard, almost.

It was one one of those fun memories of going to the dealership with dad when he had to go get a part or parts.

Then, there was an AC dealer for awhile down at Diamond, Mo.

I think it was called Diamond Tractor Co. north of town on what was Hwy. 71 then.

Matter of fact, I think that it was a Bob Harp, or Harper, that ran that one.

It sat on the east side of the highway and was a blue and white metal building.

Well, I see that I missed the post of 180 Puller already listing the Diamond dealership.

I'm sure that you've already got Balk's in Nevada , listed somewhere.

Hey 180, did you know an Alan Hancock?

We ran Allis's to farm with and dad was also a Funk's G Hybrid Seed dealer/distributor.
