Sales and Services

Serving the Braceville Area

Your shop repairs, grain storage and home heating all depend on equipment that keeps going when the weather turns. Braceville is a small Grundy County village with coal mining roots, Route 66 heritage and plenty of farmland on every side. Our team helps you handle all of it. We sell and service welding equipment and stock welding wire, rods, electrodes, plasma cutters and torches. For local farms, we supply grain handling and drying equipment such as in-bin drying, elevator legs, stirring machines and unload systems. Inside the house, we install fireplaces and offer stoves fueled by wood, gas, corn or pellets in durable materials. Stop by the Midwest Agri-Com showroom in Ottawa for advice tailored to your property.


Our Service

Welding Supplies and Grain Handling Expertise

Repairs rarely wait for a convenient day, so your shop needs the right machine and consumables close at hand. We provide welding equipment sales and service, plus handles, fuel kits, filler rods, wire and electrodes for steady work. On the farm, we design, install and maintain grain handling and drying equipment, including unload systems, elevator legs, stirring machines and bin stairs. We also restore older systems when replacement does not make sense. For home comfort, we install fireplaces with cultured stone, brick, masonry and wood mantel finishes and sell wood and pellet stoves in steel, soapstone and cast iron. Many Braceville homes are older, so we check venting and chimney condition before recommending an insert or stove. Sales consultations and installation inspections are part of every job.

Do I need a 240-volt outlet to run a stick welder?

Many smaller stick welders can run on standard household power for light work, but heavier welding on thick steel usually calls for a 240-volt circuit. Check the machine's input requirements and your shop's electrical panel before buying. We can explain the power needs of different welders and help you choose one that fits your setup.

How do I keep a pellet stove running well all winter?

If repairs are frequent, parts are hard to find or the system cannot keep pace with your harvest volume, replacement often makes more sense. Severe rust, worn housings and repeated motor failures are other signs. A newer unload system can speed loading trucks. We can inspect your current equipment and compare repair versus replacement costs with you.
