Little back ground, I have a website devoted to the history of the Rock Island Plow Company http://rockislandplowco.com which was purchased by Case in 1937.

I am working on a large update to the site thanks to some information I picked up lately regarding the time just after the buyout and the fate of the RIPC lines. Thanks to Mr. Hoffman at Heritage Eagle I received permission to include reprints from the magazine of an interview with Joe Kulhavy, but I only have part 2 of the article. I am hoping someone can help me out with Part 1, I think it might be issue no 59. I'd be happy to purchase it or accept a scan of it.

I am also hunting for any pictures or information from the Rock Island plant near the buyout. Right now, I have photo's of the outside of the plant, but nothing from inside the plant.

I won't turn down any other photo's. information or corrections either.

This is very interesting. Thanks for the post and look forward to a rainey day to be able to spend time to read it all.

Thanks Nick! I just sent a reply.

Website is a work in progress, another year and a half and it might even have all the pages up! It started as a side project and got out of hand. The good thing about it though is I keep finding new information to keep adding to it. The next update will add a Case era section, add another tractor to the list that I hadn't had any solid info on before and a bunch of updates.
