Jacka Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Took this picture of a Year Around cab today at a dealership in PA. Anyone familiar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Collector Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I am not too far from Ottawa. I have never heard of the Russ Johnson dealership, but I poked around a bit on newspapers.com, and found a few mentions of this dealer from 1971-1974. My memory of an IH dealer in Ottawa only goes back as far as post Case IH merger days when J. Merle Jones & Sons ran a truck dealership there (i would bet the same location as Johnson was in.) There was a JD dealer a little farther south on Rt. 23, as well. Both are gone now, replaced by fast food joints, cell phone stores, etc. as the town spread northwards. Somewhere I have a matchbook and bullet pencil from Tipton Sales & Service of Ottawa, which was, I'm sure a predecessor to Johnson. This dealership can be seen in a few of the movies on the Farmington Implement dvd series. (I believe the 460/ 560 intro for one, if memory serves) About 15 years ago, Stoller International expanded to Ottawa and built a new dealership a couple miles north of where the former dealership stood.

jass1660 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Is Stoller still on their own or have they been merged with more dealers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Collector Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Yep, they are still independent. They run, I believe, 5 stores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jass1660 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Don’t they have one in Arizona or Colorado? I had to get some parts in Pontiac last fall, only ones in the nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Collector Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Boy, not that I know of, but possibly they do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
