Only dealer I recognize is Plankinton Motors in Plankinton SD. Bought my 7' ED press drill there in the middle 70s.

In this area the small time dealers were let go throughout the 60's. The last one was gone in 1970. From 6 to none in less than 10 years.

Wouldn't one be in a quandary, buy now or see what the new models are like. And conversely, Case did a big promotion of the new models telling dealers what was to come, would a dealer share this with the customer. I think money ruled the decision making. Boy wouldn't I like to have a new 400 diesel.

You probably would have got a great deal on a Super Diesel 400, as Case was really pushing COM hard in 1958, and most likely wanted the 400's gone fast. Same with the big 600. I have only seen 1 ad for the big 600 so far.
