When AC died, the local dealer carried on with Agco, but with diminished sales. They had carried NH, NI, Bush Hog, Brillion, and many short lines, and eventually decided to go with NH as their predominant line. Eventually the Agco contract got down to parts only. The three county Oliver dealers were long gone, and two of the best mechanics in the county, who had been with Oliver, ended up here. It got so most of the tractors going through the shop were Oliver/White. After much contention, Agco finally summarily dropped them a couple years back. $200,000 annual parts business cut off just like that!
