That's not necessarily true. Here we had a very local JD dealer in 72. He just wasn't very good. 8 miles from our place. A Ford dealer 8 miles the other way, also not very good. An AC dealer very good 6 miles past the JD guy. Another good JD, IH, AC, Oliver and Case 25 miles west and MF right at 60. MM had a dealer 25 miles north but you never saw MM right here and darn little there. The JD guy had really poor parts and service support, that's the one 8 miles away. That accounts for the lack of JD in the area at the time. The Ford guy sold cars too and was only selling Ford/New Holland because it was forced on him. So you can guess how good he was. The AC dealer was super. Large inventory of parts and a good service department. Got passed on to 2 sons who learned well from their father. They didn't move much new equipment but sold lots of used and parts. So all the IH stuff in the area here doesn't add up. Now the JD dealer died in the mid 70's and another JD dealer bought the dealership, built a new building and by 78 JD was gaining a lot of ground in our area. They went under in the 80's. Now today almost everyone in our area is CaseIH with a few JD's around. AGCO stuff is few and far between. The AC then AGCO dealer sold out about 5 or 6 years ago, the 2 brothers decided to retire. The guy that bought them out ran it into the ground inside of 2 years.
