as long time customers, it was a sad day for us, with great uncertainty.no doubt, dealers were going to be eliminated, stores closed, the dad of a friend of mine worked at the local case store, he lost his job.    what product lines were they going to carry on and support? and what pieces of machinery were going to be white elephants?      I guess it was a sign of the times.  30 years ago, wow, remember it like yesterday.
