I recently discovered that My-D-Han-D is still building new elevators and grain augers and that they are advertizing replacement parts for Allied, Speed-King and late model New Idea elevators and augers. http://www.mydhandsales.com I thought it might be useful info to pass along.
I've seen Allied elevators that looked like New Idea as well. Speed King and Allied augers also look a lot like the old New Idea augers . . . so who was building what for whom and when I don't know.
I was browsing through their owners manual for the elevator and there are a few pictures in there that still show the New Idea emblem on the side of the elevator. Guess that answers that question!
