I have a couple more dealers for you from when I was a kid. Mayslick Farm Supply in Mayslick, Kentucky, in the 60's and 70's. Owned by Buddy Cropper. We bought a new 770 in 1972 from Buddy, along with various New Holland equipment through the years. His wife Rosie ran the parts department, great parts person. Dealership was sold to a man with last name of Wilson, around the late 70's and closed in the 80's when times got tough.
Elgin Church Farm Equipment in Bethel, Kentucky was another. Mr. Church moved a huge amount of machinery in central Kentucky in the 50's through the 70's. "Church" as everybody called him was quite a guy, extremely well respected in the area. One of those larger than life types that everybody remembers. Could tell a story like no one I've met before or since. Dad always said "Church never lets the facts get in the way of a good story". I remember seeing a new Spirit of 76 1570 at his place. Quite a treat for a youngster like me at the time.
Of course all these people have passed on now, including Dad. What I would give to be able to go back in time and live those years again.
Good memories.
