Old Case Dealers.

Another dealer,1940's, South Side Elevator, Union City, Indiana.

Another, Lefeld Implement, Coldwater,OH, now a JD dealer, quit Case when they quit making combines. It was said before, he was #1 in combine sales in the state of OH several years (600-660 era). He needed combines to sell to compete in the area. Paul Lefeld was the owner, think he still alive.

There is an Case dealership in Coleman Wisconsin called Beaver Implement.

My dad had his 1945 Case SC rebuilt there back in the late 70's. I have gotten parts from there a few years back.

I inherited his tractor when he passed.

There was a picture of a DC with front wheel weights from Shotty, would like to know where I might find wheel weights for the SC.

Case 45

Dad bought a number of machines and equipment from Whiteside during the 60's and late 70's. The ones I remember are 220, 300, 430, 830(2 one gas slip-o-matic, one diesel Comfort King), 930 (2 one with a 1030 motor), 970 (2 one black Demonstrator, 1 later white version), 1070, 1270, 1370(2), 1570, 2470.

Dad started farming in the 50's with Farmalls, but switched to the Case line primarily because of this dealer. After it became a company store the he switched to Deere.

There was also a pedal tractor the dealer sent my way in the late 60's....

The other dealer is Hurke's Implement in Watertown, SD. They started in the 1920's and are still in business, although they lost the Case dealership and went with Ford / NH. This is a third generation family business. If you're interested in Case dealership history they would have a lot to offer. Give them a call...Ask for Pat Hurkes.

Here is some info I found at>Link

The>Link High Plains Heritage Center is located in the three-story International Harvester Building, a historical building on Second Street South, adjacent to the National Register"s Historic Railroad District and within the original town site of Great Falls. Rural and urban residents alike once called this street Machinery Row because of all the farm implement dealers located here. Any farmer or rancher needing new equipment could avail himself of the street"s "one stop" shopping.

Montana Implement Company in 1909 was the earliest dealership on the street. Between 1916 to 1919 Minneapolis Steel and Machinery, Montgomery Machinery, J.I. Case Threshing Machine, Advance Rumley Threshing Machine, and Nichols and Olson Farm Implements opened storefronts on the street. By 1928, Electric Motor Service, Fairbanks Morse Scales, Midland Implement, H. Earl Clack Wholesale Gas, and International Harvester Company had joined the scene. Later such businesses as Caterpillar and John Deere appeared.

It started out as a joint dealership of Case and Studebaker in about 1954 called Austin Motors in Austin Manitoba. My uncle, Gordon Hay managed the farm equipment and his partner managed the automotive side of things. In the late 50's they split and my Uncle then started GM Hay Sales and Service, still in Austin, MB. He had the dealership up until 1972, then moved to Vancouver, BC and semi retirement. The dealership was closed when Gord moved away.

My dads cousin also mentioned that the dealer at the time in Dunrea, Manitoba was Dick Rondeau. There was also a dealership in Brandon, Manitoba and in Portage La Prairie Manitoba. I know my family dealt with the dealership in Portage from 72 onward for many many years. He did not recall any other information than that. Hope this helps in your search.

Link Implement, Ridgeland, WI - still in business and I do not know how many years. At least 2 generations.

My Grandfather and Great Grandfather both sold Case equipment years ago here in east central Nebraska. Shoot me an email with the kind of information you are looking for and I will gladly try to get it for you. Please put "CASE Tractors" in the subject line or I might miss it.

I grew up near Escanaba, Mich. in the Upper Peninsula and long admired the Case Tractor line.
Mostly the smaller tractor lines were in our rural area.
The only dealership I knew of was in Stephenson, Michigan about 15 miles north of Menominee, Mich.
Don't recall the name of the business, but it was fairly close the the Michigan State Police post.
