As far as forcing dealer building upgrades goes that is a mixed bag. When Deere pushed that on their dealers here in the 1970's quite a few would have had problems bringing in a cab equipped tractor or combine. The closest Deere dealer to us in the 1960's was smack dab in the middle of a village. They lacked the room to simply modify what they had plus things were changing. People were becoming more removed from agriculture if they lacked a direct connection to it so staying in town was getting to be less practical due in part to noise and liability. Not all pushes here were justified but a fair amount were. Would you want your few year old 4010 or 4020 worked on in the elements because the dealer had no room in the shop to do it? Would you want to be told that a carb kit for an A had to be ordered because the dealer could no longer stock it because of lack of shelf space? Making somebody build a Tajmahal is ridiculous but in a lot of cases Deere and other suppliers were looking out for the customer.
