I recently spotted some old photos on Ebay. It’s not my listing but I wondered if anybody recognised which dealer this is? Likely somewhere in Nebraska. Thank you.

Probably 1977. Lots of F series. The 7000 in back looks like maroon belly cab and the one lager Gleaner is early 2 series stripe. Might be straight L or M. 77 is first year for 2 series. That was a heck of a dealership. Be cool photos to have ------------- 8070FWA,7080 BlackBelly, 7045,2 200s,D19,D17,G, WD,45,UC,7 AC mowers and lots more!

Thanks both for the info, that's helpful.  It certainly looks like a busy dealership. I'm too young to have seen somewhere like this in reality – plus I live in Scotland, and the A-C dealer where my grandfather bought the Model B that my Dad drove closed at the end of the 1960's I think.
Yeah, they're cool photos and after posting this thread I decided I'd buy them. Hoping that once I get them I can scan them in and see lots more detail when I blow them up on screen. I find old photos like these are fascinating, full of history. |

I don't recognize the dealer as any that I remember in from northeast Nebraska that we visited back in the day. Photo might be 1978 or 1979 at the latest. The F2 looks brand new maybe, no paint off the front beater and has the later grain tank decal with the black on top, think they changed that decal in 78 or 79? The L2 or M2 has the earlier decal with the white on top. The Farmhand grinder is neat too...never seen one that clean. Just about every brand of equipment is in the photos...back when there was a lot of farmers running the land. ------------- Matt Folkers FOLKERS RESTORATION Restoring vintage things to last so the future can enjoy our past. |

Anybody else have the thought that these were taken from a train? The vantage point seems too high to be a person standing, or from a car. Ted ------------- 190XTD seriesIII, 190XTD seriesI, maroon belly 7000, 190XTD series??? project(or maybe parts) |

| I wonder if that is the Allis dealer in Dunlap IA. They have a building about that color, and IIRC, the train ran across the street from them. |

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments – really helpful to know what the particular combine and tractor models are. This forum really is a godsend as there's so much A-C knowledge in folks' heads. Ted, that's an interesting thought about the vantage point, I guessed the photographer might be standing on an embankment or slope, but the photos could equally well be taken in sequence from a passing train. Big Al - thanks, I'll go have a look at Google Maps to see if I can locate a similar looking building. It looks pretty new, and profiled metal cladding ("crinkly tin" or "wrinkly tin") only became popular in the 1960's/ 1970's. Can you remember off the top of your head what the dealership in Dunlap was called, please?
