Loren, thats cool you remember our dealership, we sold NI manure spreaders, polaris snowmobiles, bug zappers, scaffolding and shoring. I have some memorabilia from the place. Best thing about having a dealership and a farm was if you needed something off hours, just head over to the shop.
I know Pete, well more or less know of him nowadays, don't see him that often, I've run into him across the road at the dairy bar, I was in there with my long time farmer/friend and Pete was razzing him about still having the first dollar he ever made LOL, likely true, but thats what it took for him to stay afloat and be successful in a lifetime career of agriculture.
Trying to think who Wes is though. Pete's son Jeff had opened a Caterpillar rental store, around '03, sold challenger tractors/equipment and M-F tractors, Simplicity, looked like it was going ok, I used to rent from him exclusively for heavy equipment, had the best deal going, not sure what happened, had 2 locations, then just one, and now closed up.
Calhouns is still in business, Cub Cadet, not sure what else. I recall their old location, I believe they are one in the same, used to get IH parts for the IH 45 baler, still have an unopened 2 pack of IH sisal twine.
The good ole days were fun, whenever we had a JD in the shop, needed parts, or vice versa, there seemed to be a mark up.

LOL

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
