The Miracles of Mitch Foundation eases the financial and emotional impacts experienced by families during a very challenging time “Once All States Ag Parts receives a donated tractor or other equipment at one of our salvage yards it hits the teardown shop In the teardown shop all the critical parts are taken off the machinery and inspected by skilled mechanics Once the part passes inspection it’s cleaned up labeled and stored inside one of our warehouses until a farmer or repair shop needs it” explained Dyke “Our inspection process is extremely important We want all of our parts to work when the farmer gets them installed For those rare occasions when an inspected part does fail we offer a 1-year replacement warranty on all of our used parts ” The shells of torn-down tractors and combines are then moved into the salvage yard where they remain until being sent to a metal recycling plant All States recycles all of the unused metal parts oil anti-freeze tires and other materials from every piece of equipment that goes through their yard “It’s not only good business but when you serve an industry that relies on the earth’s resources we need to do the best we can to conserve those resources ” said Dyke All States Ag Parts operates 7 salvage yards and one catalog/internet center in the United States In addition to selling used tractor parts they also sell new aftermarket parts and rebuilt parts for all makes and models of tractors combines skid steers planters swathers and other ag equipment A free catalog featuring these parts is available by calling 877 530-4430 or on the website at www TractorPartsASAP com To donate a tractor to The Miracles of Mitch Foundation contact: John Berger at 855-530-3812 or donate@tractorpartsasap com How To Contact All-States Ag Parts: To Order Parts or Talk to a Parts Expert: Call 877-530-4430 To Order A Free Catalog: Call 866-609-1260 www TractorPartsASAP com Downing Tractor Parts E1140 State Road 170 Downing WI 54734 Manager: Dan Hellendrung Phone: 877-530-1010 toll-free Fax: 715-643-2729 Email: dtp@asapagparts com Salem Tractor Parts 25325 U S Highway 81 Salem SD 57058 Manager: Dave Arens Phone: 877-530-4010 toll-free Fax: 605-425-3027 Email: stp@asapagparts com Wisconsin Tractor Parts West 5674 County Road A Black Creek WI 54106 Manager: Mike Bloom Phone: 877-530-2010 toll-free Fax: 920-984-3142 Email: wtp@asapagparts com Ft Atkinson Tractor Parts 2645 Highway 24 North Ft Atkinson IA 52144 Manager: Al Schlatter Phone: 877-530-3010 toll-free Fax: 563-534-7287 Email: ftp@asapagparts com Missouri Tractor Parts 1078 US Hwy 62 East Sikeston MO 63801 Manager: Greg Davis Phone: 877-530-7720 toll-free Fax: 573-471-2288 Email: mtp@asapagparts com Bridgeport Tractor Parts 9936 US Highway 385 Bridgeport NE 69336 Manager: George Lunniss Phone: 877-530-5010 toll-free Fax: 308-262-0751 Email: btp@asapagparts com Hendricks Tractor Parts 408 South Division Hendricks MN 56136 Manager: Dirk Pearson Phone: 877-530-6620 toll-free Fax: 507-275-3932 Email: htp@asapagparts com
