First visit in quite a few years

 

I had not seen the dealership in at least 5 years, and things have changed quite a bit. They have a couple new buildings, and the sales lot is laid out differently. The Used Parts operation has grown considerably, and is quite impressive. He has done a very nice job of expanding that part of the business.

 

I sort of miss the cows and goats that used to roam the salvage yard, but heck, I guess that is progress. The activity level at the place was buzzing. It is good to see a dealership that is continuing to thrive; but sort of sad, (in a nostalgic way,) to see less and less of an Allis presence. Marshall Machinery was one of the very first site sponsors, way back on "Series I", (for those new here, who are unfamiliar with the name). I bought my first Dealer Parts Manual from them, as well as gaskets for my first '38 B.

 

You could say they were my original Allis dealer.

 

Anyway, I had a great visit, and would encourage anyone looking for parts or machinery (of almost every type) to check them out and see what they have to offer.

 

As for me, I'm going to try and make sure to visit more often.
