    Corn planting...

    Somebody should be smart enough to make a tractor now as well engineered as that 1175 was nearly 50 years ago. No computers, straight 8 speed transmission. Nearly bulletproof.

    Nice planting rigs and nice looking soil-no rocks.

    Thanks again for your input.

    The end of the Case dealership in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa in 1952

    Jim, Thank you so much for sharing this history with us. This must have been a well-built building. I found the obituary for Mr. McAllister who died in September 1951, at the age of 67. I am quite surprised he built a new dealership building at the age of 66. He must have been optimistic...

    Dealer correction for Don 5-2-24

    Gerald, Thanks for the correct information. So sorry to hear about your disaster. I can somewhat identify as our farm was hit by a tornado June 8, 1985. Cleanup was a real experience. Don

    Tornado Damage

    Gerald, It is good to hear you and your wife and dog are OK. I've seen pictures of Minden and it is a small miracle that you escaped unharmed. I'll be more than happy to include you all in my prayers. Don

    The end of the Case dealership in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa in 1952

    Gene, This one piqued my interest. I called the Mt. Pleasant Historical Society and the nice lady took down all the info and will get back to me with what she finds out. "What is a Case tractor dealer" was her first question. I'm guessing that the "east edge of Mt. Pleasant" is a lot...

    The end of the Case dealership in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa in 1952

    Dan, Our last implement dealer in this county is slowly winding down and will be retiring soon. Its roots go back to 1906 and they were a Case dealer from 1922 to 1934 when they switched to AC. Good people. I can't tell you hpw many times they bent over backwards to help me get going. There...

    Always on the hunt

    That is a great photo, Dan. I know of only 1 800 in this whole county that was sold new. The nearest "dealer" was a horse jockey who preferred selling and financing well used equipment rather than new Case equipment. I doubt he did any demonstrations. He was not a good representative for...

    Always on the hunt

    Case really pushed the Case-o-matic 800 over the clutch drive 700. I have found only 2 ads featuring a 700 tractor while 800's are featured in dozens, if not hundreds of ads. Case bet their future on COM and it didn't pay off very well for them. Harrold and Jensen must have been movers and...

    The end of the Case dealership in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa in 1952

    How true! This must have been a state of the art dealership. I wonder if this building still exists.

    The end of the Case dealership in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa in 1952

    I imagine there was still a mortgage on the building. They certainly seemed motivated to sell, with or without the Case contract. This seems to be a really nice building compared to many that were simply an upgraded quonset hut. I can't even guess what the cost would have been, including the...

    The end of the Case dealership in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa in 1952

    This ad features the specifics of the new Case dealer building in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa in 1952, due to the untimely death of owner H.H. McAllister. He must have recently built this new building to house his Case dealership. I haven't found any evidence of a succeeding dealer until a Case Power &...
