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.

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. [Reply]  [No Email]

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. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm about 100% sure they will sell parts if you give them a call, that's what there website says anyways [Reply]  [No Email]

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. [Reply]  [No Email]
