There's a rather large GT junkyard up in Kalkaska. We had a great time digging through the yard. Lots of Simplicity.

Elliott, not sure if I'll make it this weekend but will in near future. You need to post that junk yard smile so's we all will know what we's lookin for. Are those the ones with two small bulbs? Not real up on Simplicity #'s

Josh I can remember when Traverse City area had dealers for ford, international harvester, AC, john deer, MF, and there was even a dealer that sold Oliver/white and cockshutt. All the Ag dealers started closing up in the mid to late 70s and the only left is MF.

Most of the tractor dealers sold brands of Ag implement like new idea, fox chopper, kil-brothers, new Holland, gihl and gleaner.

I am sure I am forgetting some of the brands that used to be around here.

The Simplicity dealer (Lark lawn and garden)has been here every since I can remember, the one in Grayling closed a long time ago, Manistee used to have one but I think it is gone. Willard's equipment is a very old dealer and used to have a lot of FDT stuff around, but I have not been over there in a few years
