I need some larger rivets to fix the sickle on our corn head, and Dad has had luck in the past going to an old store that is in a town I drive thru everyday going to the farm and work. No sign, no nothing just an open sign in the window.
Owned by a gent who I think is in his mid 70's, and his sister. His dad owned an IH dealership that was closed back in 78 or 79 he said. Lots of old NOS parts there for IH, mainly small parts like some carburetor parts, and other random odd bits. Some oddball detatchable chain, old bike tires, hardware that has an inch of dust on it.
Old, but new, pitch forks and some other tools. Just a large smattering of general store type stuff. Didn't have the particular rivets I need, but was still fun to just look. I might have to go back some time once I know what size chain we need for our 495A corn planter and make sure what I saw is it, as it's hard to find it any more.
Said his dad also bought out the local plumber back in the 50's or so and still has a bunch of the old fittings.
Overall, a very interesting day and I think was happy just ot have someone walk in to talk to.
