"One Vision, One Team" Expo a success
Visitors flocked the A&I Products event and left with their fill of great info.
A
fter months of planning and preparation, the A&I Products "One
Vision, One Team" Expo kicked off December 1 at the Sioux Falls Convention
Center and concluded on December
4 with over 950 attendees visiting the
33,600 square foot exhibit hall. The space
was packed with upwards of 1000 different parts and products representing
the 85,000-plus part numbers offered by
more than fifty A&I Products vendors
from around the world.
While the weather was still moderately warm, wave 1 attendees arriving
early were able to check out the open
show on Monday, November 30 to get
accquainted with the immense number
of items on display. Open show times
were scheduled at the beginning and
end of each wave to allow attendees to
spend additional time with specific vendors as they chose.
The first wave officially kicked off
at 6:30 am on Tuesday, December 1 with
a top-notch breakfast in the Sioux Falls
Convention Center Ballroom. Following breakfast half of the group attended
each of the five excellent seminars headed by A&I Products technical experts,
"There is no aftermarket
parts company as easy
to work with as A&I."
- EXPO Attendee
plus one by Lawrence Jensen of Wells
Fargo Bank. These seminars touched
on exciting new products including the
new Surveillance Cam systems and additions to the CabCAM™ line of products, A&I's Business-to-business website
features, and ideas for looking at the
www.aiproducts.com
marketplace and increasing business
from end-users.
The other half of the group was
transported the short distance to the
Rock Valley, Iowa home office, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities. There,
they were led by veteran A&I Products
employees on tours. Attendees were able
to have a firsthand look at manufacturing processes, the immense size of the
warehouses, and the people that work
to provide A&I Products customers with
quality aftermarket replacement parts.
After the seminars and tours, everyone was treated to a meal. After the
meal, the scheduled round-table tradeshow sessions began. Here, the attendees and sales representatives sat down
and had a chance to visit with numerous vendors as they gave information
on their products and fielded any questions that arose. Every fifteen minutes,

the groups moved on to the next vendor,
gathering information on multiple products throughout the session.
When the round-table sessions were
through, the floor was open to allow attendees to visit with vendors they did
not have in their scheduled rotation or to
speak in detail with anyone. The night
was capped off with a full meal that included pheasant chowder, rolls, sirloin
steak, salsa chicken, roasted vegetables
& red potatoes, apple pie or cheesecake
for dessert along with entertainment
provided by comedian & farmer Jerry
Carrol. Many of his jokes were influenced by life on a farm and mechanical
follies that hit home with anyone that
knows agricultural parts.
Wednesday's events started similar
to Tuesday with those that previously
attended seminars traveling to
Rock Valley for tours
and the others attending the seminars.
After those sessions the tradeshow floor
was open all day and into the evening
for those in the first wave to gather more
information before heading home and
those in the second wave to start their
excursion following the same schedule
as the first wave at the A&I Products
"One Vision, One Team" EXPO.
Attendees included business owners, parts managers, service
technicians,
do-all
independents, and
more.
Together,
dealer and repair
shop
representatives, vendors, and A&I
Products sales reps and
staff were
able to gain a great wealth of information and bounce ideas off each other. The
information gained by the vendors, A&I
sales reps, and A&I staff members will
be beneficial for everyone. Ideas were
generated to offer more quality parts,
offer advanced service to A&I Products
customers, and more.

RECAPS
"I liked sitting down &
talking to the vendors, not
having to wait to speak
to them...and the tour of
the warehouse facilities."
n Out of The Box - Presented by Brett Lipetri
This seminar gave insight on how to look beyond a given company's individual specialty and
look "outside of the box" by diversifying product offerings to successfully hit new markets and
be able to serve more customers beyond current clientele. Topics included being open to a
changing market, recognizing opportunities, getting out of a "comfort zone" and taking
advantage of opportunities.
Linc Martin
Martin Brothers Equipment
Wadesboro, NC
"The roundtables
opened our eyes to what
else is needed (to better serve A&I Products customers)."
n Surveillance Cam - Presented by Jay Ouwinga & Jerry Wynia
The Surveillance Cam seminar was an introductory session to this new camera observation
system line ideal for monitoring offices, shops, outdoor spaces, homes, and much more.
The session went over how the system works including details about the USB DVR box, the
simple setup and computer connection, plus an overview on how to use the software, and
all the new cameras and complete systems intended for surveillance.
Blake Schnieder
Grammer Seats
n A&I Products B2B Website - Presented by Todd Miller & Brian Faber
"It was pretty wild...
When you have the people
that know tractors and
talk to them face-to-face,
its rare from my position
(as a manufacturer)."
Simplified and streamlined B2B (Business-to-Business) website search techniques were
covered in the seminar headed by Todd Miller & Brian Faber. They spoke of the difference
and benefits of drill-down and description searches. Also outlined was the capability to
search for like items, searching by model, saving search preferences, and details of
description cross reference and search category sections.

n Expand Your Vision - Presented by Carl Elbers
Carl is A&I Products' CabCAM™ expert. His seminar sessions relayed a full gamut of CabCAM™
information and an introduction to some new video products. Carl's discussion included varied
examples of use as well as detailed product information and demonstration. Wired and
WiRELESS systems and accessories and a range of new borescopes were all a portion of the
new items introduced. The very detailed presentation included information on warranties,
tech support, and associated promotional material for the video products.
"The kind of respect the
Van Beeks give all the vendors and attendees - the
hospitality was too great."
Tanav Chopra
Yerik International
n Customers Have Choices - Presented by Jeremy Thiessen
"...It was phenomenal.
We were able to go oneon-one with a majority
of the attendees. That's
unheard of...I have not
seen a show like this."
With personal experience as a service technician at a implement dealership, Jeremy gave
insight on choices available when repairing agricultural machinery. His example provided an
actual service inspection sheet of a 2388 combine with cost comparisons, showing the value
in going with quality replacement parts from A&I Products. His discussion further gave details
on different combine parts, tractor parts, and hay tool parts with several examples of multiple
options for different types of equipment to fit all of the different customers needs.

n Wells Fargo Bank Presentation - Presented by Lawrence Jensen
Post breakfast each day, Lawrence Jensen spoke to seminar groups in the ballroom about
financial planning, analysis of timelines, and current economic trends. He presented ways
to look at the current economic situation, the future and how to make sense of it all.

New B2b features make organizing and placing orders easier
New features allow you to work on multiple orders for multiple jobs.
A
& I Products has again made some
useful additions to streamline your
time spent on the Business-to-Business
dealer website.
When searching for parts, you can
now create multiple parts lists or multiple held orders. These new features
allow you to create individual lists and
orders for different jobs or customers.
This way, you can search and organize
all the parts for one entity and save them
in a list for quick price quoting reference
and ordering. You will not have to pick
through lists to sort out individual jobs.
The first screen on the right shows
multiple lists and multiple held orders.
Anything can be entered to name the
list. This sample dealer has lists for a
customer (Dave N.), stock orders (belts
and hay tool), as well as two other jobs
(JD 4020 and 8N). This sample also
shows a similar scenerio for held orders.
There are three program orders (crimper, engine kit plus, and 15-line item) and
one customer order (Jerry D.). The rasp
bar in the search is being added to a new
held order named "Jim R."
In the second window, you see the
new "Jim R." held order which includes
rasp bars and other parts for his 2344
combine.
These new options should make
organizing jobs and orders for various
customers easier than ever before.

Most utility and recreational vehicles (ATVs, go-karts, etc.) require specialty belts that are unique in their construction methods. A&I / PIX is currently stocking some of the more popular specialty part numbers and adding more of these belts all
the time. The following is a list of items that make these belts
unique:

OEM specified length and width are critical for proper operation.
The degree of side angle can vary from side to side depending on
the drive assembly. A proper degree of side angle is crucial for
longevity of the belt and controlling the speed of the unit.
Raw edge construction keeps the belt from slipping, especially
during prolonged usage.
Kevlar cords and cogged construction adds to the strength of the
belt during “shock load” conditions.
Substituting a belt on a recreational or utility vehicle that is not
made to OEM specifications will cause problems with normal operation of the equipment, can cause premature belt failure and
possible additional equipment damage. JUST ADDED: Replacement belts for

HYDRAULIC PUMP REPLACEMENT
IF A PUMP FAILS YOU WILL HAVE CONTAMINATES IN YOUR SYSTEM.
Before installing an A&I Products pump, you must flush the system and change all hydraulic filters. Failure to do so could cause damage to the replacement pump and therefore void warranty.
Here are a few steps to help you out.

1. Before removing the pump, starting and running the unit will warm the oil for better drainage of the
system, also taking less time to drain.
2. Systems that accumulated deposits from the faulty pump that were not removed with draining the
oil must be flushed out with a light viscosity fluid. In most cases the fluid should contain a rust
inhibitor to protect metal surfaces affected by the contaminates after draining.
3. Inspect all hoses, lines, cylinders, and valves for wear or for particles that could cause the replacement pump to fail.
4. Performance depends on correctly cleaning the system and installing the new pump (no matter
make, model, or manufacturer of the pump). Check and assure all pressures are correct according
to the service manual.
5. Add the proper amount and correct viscosity of oil recommended for adequate wear protection.
Fluid requirements are normally outlined in the manufacturers operation and maintenance manuals.
Clean all breathers.
6. Change all filters 35 to 45 hours of operation after installing the replacement pump (new or remanufactured) Why is this necessary, if the system has been cleaned? This will guarantee that the
system is essentially clean and free of any residue of the failed unit.
7. Changing the filters frequently will increase the service life of the system.
