885 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I was sitting around the other day wondering what stories some of the used equipment could tell. One in particular came to me from Kansas/Nebraska area then to Pennsylvania then to me. Apparently at some point it was sold in Minnesota,it has a dealership sticker from Mabel Farm Equipment in Mabel Minnesota. From the sticker it appeared to be a Ford/New Holland and ghel dealership at one point. According to Google maps that is close to 1000 miles away. Anyway I got to wondering if they were in business still or if anyone had dealt with them before? I doubt they were the original selling dealer but did they sell international at one point?

Farmall1066 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I don’t believe they are in business anymore, looks like the nearest dealership is Hammel Equipment in Harmony MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E160BHM Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 This brings back memories. One of my first loads in my short truck driving career was a 9 stop load of Kewanee elevators to dealers mostly in eastern Iowa ending in Mabel. IIRC the dealership was on the highway on the east end of town. I do not remember the main brands sold, but am pretty sure it was not IH. As I finished unloading I noticed that there were 4 bolt hubs and 5 bolt wheels. It was noted on the bills when they signed them and I left. About 6 months later I was there again, and as they were signing the bills, the owner says “last spring some kid was here with an elevator with the wheels mixed up. It was a real mess to get straightened out.” I confessed that yes, that was me…. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
