Neil's Parts was established in Corowa on 1973
What started as a small tractor wrecking business in the small NSW Victorian border
town of Corowa has grown into a multi national business supplying farmers with much
needed tractor, header and cotton picker parts.
Neil's are the largest new and used tractor and header parts specialists in Australia
and back up this claim with an extensive range of new and used replacement parts
sold through four branches and more than 80 dealers throughout Australia.
In 1978 the company bought a small tractor wreckers in Dubbo, NSW and established
a second branch. In 1982 the branch moved into new premises on 10 acres of land
and new sheds were built to house the extensive number of parts. This branch now
boasts a number of buildings exclusively housing, new parts, a engine rebuilt building,
a final drive, wobble box, transmission and gearbox rebuilt building and a tractor
dismantling workshop.
Expansion continued in 1984 when land was purchased in Toowoomba on the Darling
Downs in Queensland and the third branch was established.
Neil's fourth branch was established in Gawler, South Australia in 1987. Expansion
continued in 1990 and 1996 with the purchase of extra land and the erection of building
to house the ever increasing range of new parts. Each Neil's branch services a network
of dealers supplying them with parts and information.
To spread this information, Neil's staff attend many field days throughout each
year from Mareeba in the far north of Queensland to Cleve on the Yorke Peninsula
in South Australia.
After many trips overseas an association was set up with the Loewen Manufacturing
company in Canada who make a large range of new replacement parts for headers, usually
supplying as good as if not better product, through modification, than the original
manufacturer.
The Neil's policy is to provide the best possible part at a reasonable price and
having them available for farmers through their branches and dealer network. Up
to $6 million in stock is kept on hand at the branches. The aim is to get the parts
to the farmers as quickly as possible to reduce down time.
Our spare parts salesmen are fully trained and we believe they are the best you
will find anywhere in the world. All our locations are online and during the harvest
we offer 24 hour spare part service.
An association with manufacturing company Harvestaire in Western Australia has produced
many new parts, including sieves, concaves, main, return and feeder chains, knife
components, reel bats, crop lifters, chaffaires and air reels.
To be able to supply a larger number of parts Neil's buyers spend many hours in
research and sourcing parts for tractors, headers and cotton pickers from many countries,
including America, England and Italy and now container loads of both new and used
parts are shipped quickly to Australia.
