These guys are really close to me, drive by there at least every month very cool to see. Wish they would fix all them up. They used to be a dealer and there used to be an Oliver dealer across the road from them, not there anymore though. The also have a very interesting story on there udlx.

They selling any stuff out of there since Lynnie's passing?
 

[G1355]

I don't know, think they'll sell parts but I don't think they will sell any of the tractors. I'm about 100% sure they will sell parts if you give them a call, that's what there website says anyways

Where in Minnesota are you yourself located? Im in SW part of state.
 

[G1355]

Right on the Minneasota, Iowa border, actually live in Iowa. Fairmont is only about 25 minutes from me.
 

[Alan K]

Ok....Im about 130m from Fairmont

Take it you've been by balcom implement before, do you know if they sell parts still, sure they do and if they would sell any of the tractors around there. I wouldn't mind getting that a4t1400 id like to put a cummins in it, needs all the sheet metal and a grill, probebly be tough to find, don't know what else it needs, it has 3pt.

I was there years ago when they had the winter convention in Fairmont. Took a look around there at that time. ALOT of stuff. Im guessing some would be for sale, not sure though....

4 or 5 years ago I needed some parts and got hold of one of the sons (Jeff, I believe). He gladly sold me what I needed. He did not live right in Fairmont, so I made arrangements to meet him over there on a Saturday.

I also got to see the UDLX. They had it there and were working on it, and he told me the story behind it.
 

[G1355]

Oh okay, was the the praise gold rush in 1988, I didn't go but have a hat from then, that says it on it.

I drive by there all the time when I go to my in laws by Elmore. Jeff Balcom lives in the old motel in Elmore. I have always wanted to see if he would sell one of the 2 G900 diesels there.

I talked with Jeff this year at Albert city,IA show. He said they will sell parts by appointment. They did have a guy come in there and clean up the parts tractors that were along the building. I have been wanting to get back down there and and see if i can buy parts in bulk.

The Winter convention I went to in Fairmont had to be 1996 or later because I had my KTA then and I went to Balcom for a part while there. Lennie Balcom my son and I went out in their yard to get the part.He knew right where to go and took the right size box wrench with him when we went out.

Back in the days I drove truck I would load at a warehouse about a mile west of Balcoms and I would stop and talk to them on my way out of town. They seemed like good people. I would sometime see them at get togethers at different places, such as the John Deere shows at Waterloo, Iowa and the Prarie Gold Rush shows. I have been retired from the road for 22 years and don't get to places like I once did. I once knew where every tractor salvage yard in the country was.from New York to Texas, up to North Dakota and everywhere in between. Junk yard hopping is my favorite vacation desires.
