	N&S TRACTOR COMPANY 600 S. Hwy 59 Merced, California 95340 USA Phone (209) 383-5888 FAX (209) 722-2411

N & S TRACTOR began in 1954 as a Case tractor dealership at 15th & O Streets, near downtown in Merced, California. It was started by Ray Nutcher and Sam Stevinson.

While both Ray & Sam were master mechanics, Ray was the one who liked to build and modify. To augment his tractors, he once used an old truck body with a mower attachment to cut wheat and hay. In the 1940's, Ray built several "Nutcher" bean threshers, including one which was self-propelled.

After Sam returned to farming, Ray continued alone until he was eventually joined by his sons Steve, Howard and Arthur. After the deaths of Steve and Ray in the middle 1970's, Howard and Arthur became partners until Howard's death in 1986.

In 1970, the lot at 600 S. Highway 59 was purchased and the first building was erected. The business become a New Holland dealership in 1971. By the mid 1970's, N & S TRACTOR had become one of the nation's largest dealerships in sales of both Case and New Holland equipment. To meet all the needs of their customers, shops were enlarged and other lines were added. In addition to the CASE-IH and FORD-NEW HOLLAND equipment lines, we now carry such brands as Wilcox, Rears, Rhino, Durand-Weyland, Grouser and others.

Today at N & S TRACTOR, you'll find the newest innovations for both agri-business and construction equipment combined with old fashioned "know how" and service. Our business includes not only our local area, but has grown to supplying equipment and parts around the world. We applaud our great staff and appreciate our many long-time repeat customers. Thanks for your continued patronage!
