Some of you may already know this but for those that didn't Mr. Fitts owner and operator of S.A. Fitts Tractor &
Equipment Co. and Cascade Cattle, Land Machinery Co. passed back in August. He helped me many times over the years find parts. I live about 60 miles east of his place. Back in the spring he found a radiator for my 574 IH. I was talking to a friend yesterday and he told me Mr. Fitts had passed. I'll sure miss him. His son is still operating the business though. Anyway I had seen his name on the site before and figured some of you good folks had talked to him about some parts for your projects and knew him. I found this in a Martinsville news paper online.
