The Gleaner production was moved from Independence and consolidated with all
other AGCO combine brands at Hesston, Kansas. about 5 years ago. On a tour of
the Hesston plant two years ago, we saw Gleaner, Massey Ferguson, and two
other AGCO brands of Combines I don't recall being built on the same production
line.
The Hesston plant also manufactures every type of hay harvesting and baling
equipment imaginable four at least five brands (Including Hesston, Massey, and
Agco). The plant is served by the South Kansas and Oklahoma railroad.

New Idea bought the old Sandwich Implement plant and used it as a Parts House
Old Red Barnes(of Barnes Road fame) had a complete collection of every
Sandwich product
wonder where it went to
Gleaner was in Independence Mo. right down the road from Harry's house was
still being used about 8 years ago.
Implements were built all over till the big companies came along.
Kewanee had a plant on the west side of town and Hyster was east of town.

John Deere Industrial Tractor Works @ Dubuque (blt in 1948) was served by
Milw but equip destined for CB&Q-served cities was interchanged in Dbq.
Plant now served by ICE.
Oliver - the former Hart-Parr (Charles City, IA) was served by Milw, RI &
Iowa Terminal (the former Charles City Western) until it's demise in the 1990's.
John Deere's Ankeny, IA works (cotton pickers, etc) blt/modified after WWII
from former ammo plant was served by C&NW now UP
The former Allis Chalmers Plow Works (originally LaCrosse Plow Works)@
LaCrosse was served by Milw & Q; not sure about the big A-C plant in West
Allis, WI (C&NW or Milw). Closed in 1950's.
Gleaner (combines) later bought by A-C, was/is in Kansas, unsure of RR
serving.
New Idea was at Cold Spring, OH (plant used by White for awhile after they
took over M-M, Oliver, etc)
Hesston (balers, small tractors, etc) in Hesston, KS
