I dont know if anyone posted anything on this, I just thought to tonight. On April 22, O'meal Tractor in E. Palmyra, NY auctioned off the contents of their business (which had been going since I believe 1918, there was ALOT of stuff) There werent many Case parts left but they had several pallets of manuals, a few parts tractors and their Case signs off the building. (along with many other old signs) The building was right out of the 40's, you could almost picture the bustling dealership that they were years ago...Back in the day they sold Case, later White, Homelite, Gehl, Mobil oil, Bowes, Polaris, Artic Cat, New Idea, RCA, Goodyear farm tires and Im sure other stuff too. All out of a little country building that you could hardly fit 3 tractors in the shop. The old time parts counter and shelves (made from WW2 ammo crates) were still there and they were even still using a 1950s vintage Pepsi cooler. There wasnt a modern piece of equipment in the shop. (They still had a mag tester and blacksmith tools!) The auction was full of history, and Im glad I got to attend. I was able to get a rusty, faded Case Farm Machinery sign with the faded "J J Omeal" stenciled on it that hung on the front of the building. Now it proudly hangs in my shop.
I guess time marches on...

It's great for our hobby to have guys like John to want to pick up all those old parts, let alone have the money to be tied up in them. I have seen some of the stuff he got, my hats off to John to want to sort thru all those parts to try to figure out what they all go to. I know where I'm getting my parts at now, thanks for the eagle hitch parts John.

Sorry to hear of the shop closing and sad to see that way of life going away. But Bravo to John for picking up the parts and not letting them get lost forever to scrap. I'm grateful to him (and the other guys like him) for keeping parts available for the rest of us. I know my DC wouldn't be alive right now without John, DonL, DCTom and the collective knowledge i find here at this board. so once again- way to go John.

Hey Campbell: Thanks for the kind words. Klyde gave me the heads up, he's a real devoted CASE Man. There were Threshing Machine parts that went back into the 20's.

Thanks for the post. I'm realy gonna miss the place, I've been workin there for 30 years. John Saeli bought all the old CASE parts before the auction, mostly alot of combine parts but some tractor parts too. So if anybody needs any OLD parts give John a call.

Thanks for the story. You'll always remember that piece of history with the old sign in your shop.
