You're right that most small towns in farming areas had JD dealers but they also had "all the rest". Our small town had Massey Harris and Case right on main street and Ford and John Deere in the block off main street. Minneapolis-Moline just up the street. Farmall over by the county highway shops, Allis Chalmers on the northeast side of town, etc. Oliver was in a small town 7 miles away but that town of about 900 also had a Farmall dealer. Two Farmall dealers doing a land office business within 7 miles of each other. Allis Chalmers was popular because of price. Some didn't like JDs two cylinders and all the hand controls, some did.

They were JDs best customers. And lets face it, most farmers were a little short on cash most of the time. We only bought JD equipment when it was clearly superior to anything else out there. And my grandfather and father always paid cash. As do I.
