That's where we are from. Dealer building is still there although it's empty now. Bob James Jr. Was the last family member to operate it and he passed just a couple years ago. His wife is still alive and doing rather well. Bob ran it a few years into the White era until he lost the franchise because he wasn't moving enough equipment in Whites eyes, then he switched to Ford for 2 or 3 years but Ford never had a following in our area and that never took off so he finally had to shut her down. Landis Zimmerman bought a boat load of Cletrac parts when the auction finally happened. I guess according to bob back when his dad Bob Sr. Was running the dealer they were one of the biggest cletrac sellers in the Midwest. He said his dad had a 2 ton flatbed that could haul 3 or 4 crawlers loaded sideways depending on the gauge and he would make a couple trips a week down to Cleveland to pick up crawlers directly from the factory and drop them off at the farms on the way back. He said his dad probably sold upwards of 100 HG's and OC3's over the years but he never actually had one at the dealership because every time he tried ordering one to have for stock it got sold right away. Most of them went down to the muck groud just south of the state line here. We have a 60, a 77 and a super 77 diesel and some implements that were sold out of that dealership.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
