| Here are 2 from my neck of the woods ; Bockting Farm Equipment Morrison Mo , still Agco parts they sold alot of AC tractors in the day ; alot of very good AC knowlege done there ; Weber Equipment Company ; former AC dealership in Westphailia Mo; now Donald Equipment , John Deere tractors etc ;;;;; also Honse Implement in Vienna Mo was an AC parts outlet , i think they may have been hooked up with Bockting on tractor sales , but never had a formal dealership |

I added Sigman's from Logansport, IN
Claussens from Rensselaer, IN
Dealership in Winamac, IN of unknown name
I don't what the Winamac dealership was called, but I know a guy that used to be a mechanic there tell me stories about it. He said sometime in the 70's or 80's they had a bunch of all-crop harvestor trade in that no one wanted so they finally dug a big hole and buried them all.
Here's a thread from a couple years ago that has a bunch of dealers listed.

They are all closed . I don"t know of any Agco or any other active dealer that is near me. Davis tractor in Philladelphia Tn is the only one that is still open and I don't know if they are selling any new products now. (If Mark east tn )sees this he can answer . Kincheloe changed to a case dealer when Neil supply got it in early 60"s ,Henard quit selling in the lmid to late 50's and russell in Greenville changed hands a few times and was a simplicity dealer when it closed about 5 or 6 years ago. I have the signs from Rogersville and Greenville and Cleaned up after the varmits at the Case dealer in Kingsport with no Allis stuff to be found. If I can think of anything else I will post or try the magic box at home. I think this is a great idea, sorry I can't edit it at work. Scott
PS. I have one more in Nicholsville VA and I am waiting on a call from his son to get the correct info, I do know he is still using AC. ------------- Allis Chalmers still exist in my mind and barns |

If it makes you feel better, I think there was a JD dealer around here that had a back lot full of A's & B's they took on trade. I think they are all under the new parking lot now. ------------- Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.

Are you looking strictly Allis Chalmers dealerships or AGCO also? I see that your map has a Kubota dealer on it for our area, which is not correct! I'll try to get my Dad's old dealership building noted on the map when I have more time. Great idea! ------------- Allis Chalmers WD, D14, D17, 190, 6060, 6070, 6080, 8010, I-600, I-615, R62 |

The Kubota dealership is currently on 10 Mile near M-37 in Michigan. Located near Sparta. My Dad's dealership was located in the current Roger's Hardware building in downtown Sparta, Michigan. He started it when he was 23 years old in 1935 and ran it until the 1950s when he started a Toro dealership. ------------- Allis Chalmers WD, D14, D17, 190, 6060, 6070, 6080, 8010, I-600, I-615, R62 |

| I added McDowell Bros. in Fletcher Ohio. They were my dad's uncles, my grandpa farmed with AC . I don't know exact dates but I was told they bought it from King equipment late 40s early 50s. 3 employees later bought it from them in the 70's and changed the name to Tri county between Fletcher and Piqua. |

| JamesP, let me provide additional pertinent information I have. My name is Dennis McDowell and I’m a son of George McDowell, one-half of McDowell Brothers Equipment. My dad’s brother Fred was the other brother and partner. Your Grandpa Woody was my uncle. My Dad and his brother Fred bought the Allis-Chalmer’s dealership from Charles Case in 1947. At that time is was located on Main Street in the center of Fletcher Ohio. In 1952, the business was moved to a new location at the intersection of Ohio SR36 & Casstown-Sidney Road, about a mile west of their downtown Fletcher location. 1n 1969, McDowell Brothers sold out to Russell Reid (their mechanic for many years), Marion Howe & Don Plank, which became known as Tri-County Equipment. |

| Added one that was in Centerburg, Ohio, called Judson Knight. I don't remember it but dad told about buying a new 1936 WC and Allcrop combine there. Also was a Chevrolet dealership. The building burned in the late 30's and that was the end of the business. |

. I was curious about where AC dealers used to be and this thread showed up on the google search list. I don't have record of any old locations to add, but seeing the map is pretty much the overlay for any AC tractors that show up in my Craigslist/Facebook Market Place lists of stuff for sale. Not surprising that the tractors are within tractor-driving distance from the old dealers, but interesting to see. I see why 75% of the WDs are listed in Ohio rather than Michigan where I'm at. Most are quite a long haul. .
