    Good selection of goat equipment.

Central Tractor
    POB 3330
    Des Moines, Iowa 50316-3330
    (store in Quakertown PA: 215/538-2494)

    Good selection of new and used parts for tractors old and new.
    They have lots of local stores, which are fun to shop in too.

Cumberland General Store
    Rt 3 Box 81
    Crossville, TN 38555
    800/334-4640

    Same as Lehman's but bigger selection; e.g. includes buggies and
    buggy parts, horse drawn equipment, blacksmithing tools (though
    these are better bought used), patent medicines, &c.

    Catalog is $3 (refundable)  "old time general merchandise".  About
    270 pages of "Goods in Endless Variety for Man & Beast".

Gohn Bros.
    P.O. Box 111
    Middlebury IN  46540-0111
    219-825-2400

    They have great broadfall pants that last and last, and are
    comfortable as well.

    Everything you could ever need to make maple sugar products, both
    home scale and larger.

Happy Valley Ranch
    Rt 2 Box 83
    Paola, KS 66071
    913/849-3103

    We have their one-bucket cider press and grinder and are very
    satisfied.

    We didn't buy their cider press but I included it for the option.

Lehman's Hardware
    POB 41
    4779 Kidron Rd
    Kidron, Ohio 44636
    216-857-5441  (fax) 216/857-5785

    This (and Cumberland) are like looking at turn of the century
    Sears catalogs - that you can still order from!  Lots of great
    stuff, most at reasonable prices.

    Lehman's Non-Electric Good Neighbor Heritage Catalog ($2.00)

    If it doesn't run on electricity, it's in there somewhere

    "Merchandise reflecting an undying culture, a reverence for
    tradition, and sensible ways to meet today's needs.

	Kitchen & Housewares		A Variety of the Hard-to-Find
	Stoves for Heating & Cooking	Non-Electric Appliances
	Farming and Homesteading	Woodworking & Logsmithing"

    They claim to cater to the Amish (hence the non-electric
    appliances).  The catalog *is* neat, and they have some interested
    stuff, but it tends to be pricey.  Where else are you going to
    find a wringer clothes washer with a 3 H.P. Briggs & Stratton
    engine?

Northern Hydraulics
    P.O. Box 1499
    Burnsville, MN 55337-0499
    800-533-5545  or 612-894-8310  (fax) 612-894-0003

    11173 Peaceful Valley Rd
    Nevada City, CA 95959

    think we've ever bought from them.
