IN THE 1930`S, Feyerherm and Washburn had a McCormick-Deering dealership in West Point. McCormick-Deering later became International Harvester. In 1945, the business became Vincent Adams Implement. Equipment was two-row, and some horse machinery was still used by area farmers.

Upon Adams`s retirement in 1967, the Francis Sand-Red Hucka partnership began. At this time, the business was located in a historic former dance hall called the "Del Rio," located where the West Point city offices now stand on south Main Street. The shop was a lean-to with minimal room for three mechanics. IH and Amana freezers and Maytag washers were sideline sales. International Harvester was franchiser for both farm equipment and trucks, including pickups.

IN 1973, Hucka left the business and Bud Ternus became a partner. In that same year, Ervin Eisenmenger came to West Point as manager and partner with Francis Sand and Bud Ternus. The business became West Point Implement. A large shop was added at the downtown location in 1974. A business systems computer and electronic parts system called SPIM aided parts tracking and ordering. Inventories increased and the sales area expanded.

In 1979, West Point Implement moved to a large, efficient new building south of town on a 20-acre site on Highway 275. In the 1980`s, there was much consolidation of farms and equipment dealers. During this time, 26% of farm equipment dealers closed nationally. West Point Implement`s area of responsibility now grew to a 40-mile radius.

During the 1980`s, many changes took place at West Point Implement. In 1984, computers were introduced to West Point Implement. In 1985, J.I. Case Company purchased the ag portion of International Harvester. International trucks became Navistar International.

IN 1990, the acquisition of Missouri Valley Implement in Missouri Valley, Iowa helped to expand the geographic market area. 1993 marked the year that the Eisenmenger family became the sole owner of West Point Implement also, West Point Design Inc., was created to make and market the Spread-All manure spreaders. The next year the West Point Design Inc., building was put up. In the summer of 1998 the 25th Anniversary of West Point Implement was celebrated with a theme “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.” The year 2005 marked a very busy year. EIS Manufacturing LLC was created, and West Point Implement of Columbus joined the team.
