Classic Tractor Collectors: Restoring and Preserving Farm Power from the Past
If you like antique farm tractors, you'll fall in love with this book about the people who collect and restore so-called "old iron." Author John Harvey highlights 29 exceptional tractor collectors. It begins with a description of the oldest Hart-Parr tractor and the man who now cares for it. The spotlight then turns to other collectors and their tractors, including A-C, John Deere, Heider, Farmall, J.I. Case, Massey-Harris, M-M, and more. Much of the text is anecdotal - stories about real people, who, through their love of old tractors, are preserving an important part of the last century's agricultural heritage. 128 pages, 11 x 8 1/2 inches, softbound.
