I know every body on this board is probably tired of me asking this question but here it is again: Does anyone know the name and/or location of any original Case dealers (living or passed on)? I am continuing to research for a database of Case dealers. Yesterday I talked to the only surviving original Case dealer who is still in business in Iowa. What stories these people have to tell! Thanks for all your help!!! Don

Walter's Farm Service in Aliquippa, PA.
This dealership was owned by Walter Tellish. It was a Case dealership until the 60's. I worked for Walter in the mid 70's. Smartest man I ever knew. Learned more from him than in 6+ years of college. His sons still live in the area. Let me know if you would like to get in touch with them.

There used to be a Case dealer in Fairlea, West Virginia. I think Case took the dealership from them. It was Rodgers Equipment. They are still in business. They now sell Subaru's and GMC trucks 304-645-2400.

Zoeledek Equipment in Kremlin, OK is a very old Case dealership that is still in business. I think I spelled the name correctly. It is near Enid, OK

Out here where I grew up (outside of Oregon City, Oregon) there was a Case dealership run by a man named Gene Fischer. My family bought our first Case from him (a 430). Gene has quite a collection of Case stuff and still uses his old Cases for his farming even though he is now a Massey dealer. If you need more info on him.. let me know and I will help you as much as I can.

I would sure appreciate the name of the dealership, years as a Case dealer and phone number, if possible. Thanks, Don

There's a retired Case Dealer, in Lawrence, KS. He could tell you a lot about Case, and he would have lots of stories.

DR; You are doing the right thing trying to document history of Case dealerships long after the horses have left the barn.
Always admired the Case product mostly from the road as we drove by them working the fields.
We used Ford 8N and a John Deere crawler to do woods work each year.
I think one of the Case dealerships in Upper Michigan was Escanaba and south on U.S. 2 & 41
may have also had one in Carney, Daggett or Stephenson. Stephenson is one location for the Michigan State Police. A Case dealership that may have lasted until 1985 or even until this day as
Case-International thru 2000 and beyond.
DR maybe you can keep us posted on how you dig
up leads on so many Case dealerships.
Reminds me of one more which is not to far from Dover, NH which is now a Kubota Tractor dealer.
For years it was the Eliot, Me. Case Tractor dealership known as East Eliot Garage
117 Goodwin Road Maine 03903 207-439-1777
Larry Lastname? has been running it for years
and likely his father before him. He may reveal
others in ME and NH that were competitive in the earlier era. Good luck.

Russ,
Thanks so much for your help! I know of Farmsite Implement in Escanaba in the 60's. Lou Larson was the owner. Clement Lindner (now JD) was the Case dealer in Nadeau from 1939-1967. There are rumors of Case dealers in Bark River and Daggett but I have not been able to prove them. I get the dealers names from stopping at implement dealers and asking about old Case dealers when possible, but mostly from calling former dealers and they refer me to others or their relatives. Old Case dealers remember the other dealers from their block days and also because the next dealer was usually only 7-10 miles away in good farm country. This made for some intense competition and hard feelings (and is probably why they remember) This board has also been very helpful. Don

The build card for my 1939 DC-4 say it was shipped to the Case dealership run by Horace A. York in my home town of Sault Ste. Marie, MICH (that's pronounced Soo Sainte Marie for anyone keeping score at home).

My 1940 DC-4 was shipped to Pickford, MICH and if DCTom will check the card on it, maybe he could get the dealer's name for you. My 1940's SN# is 4404300.

Hope these help.
-Mark

Tom,
I watch the build cards you give like a hawk. Thanks for including the dealer info when possible! Just found 12 dealers in Iowa this morning from an old dealer with an incredible memory.

Dickison & Kirby was the case dealership in Hebron,Indiana. I dont know the date of start up but remember them all through the late 40s& 50s and to the middle 60s while I was growing up. When I came home from the service in 1965 they were closed up. Jon
