Western Oregon | I had a 180 and a 185 both bought used at Francis Farm equipment in Independence Oregon. Loved those generation of AC tractors. I had a 190 too. If only the 180/185 had bar axles and 38" rubber. Francis Farm equipment was taken over by Rickreall Farm Supply and moved to their Massey Ferguson dealership at Rickreall for a few years before AC was dissolved. They also sold Kubota and have been Kubota only, since the Massey buy out. I have found a few Francis Farm trinkets over the years. I kept the key chains when I sold the tractors. They were also a heavy industrial dealer of crawlers and earth moving equipment. The 2 brothers/owners ran an earth moving and pond building business and ran AC equipment. They were the second biggest seller until JD opened a local dealership. Polk County Farmers co-op in Rickreall was the big seller in the 60's but JD really took off around here, they had other Fisher Implement stores in the Valley as did Polk County Farmers....James | |
