of the 1970s and 1980s, The Field Guide to Classic Farm Tractors,

few rarities. And they are all here in photographic glory.
A classic farm tractor is a conversation starter and a comforting
reminder of childhoods on the farm and adulthoods twisting a wrench in
the garage or shop. Tractors are cultural touchstones of another era, as
familiar as the smell of apple pie baking in a farmhouse kitchen. All of
that nostalgia is here in this expanded edition of The Field Guide to
Classic Farm Tractors. This photo-filled collection features
landmark models from all the major marques:
- Allis-Chalmers
- J. I. Case

Also well-represented are smaller brands like Advance-Rumely,
Cockshutt, Eagle, Fate-Root-Heath, Ferguson,
Hart-Parr, Minneapolis-Moline, and Oliver. Tractors from the
United States, Canada, and Europe are included. But The Field Guide to
Classic Farm Tractors, Expanded Edition is more than just another
collection of handsome color photos. Each model description is
accompanied by a specification chart presenting crucial technical
details like RPMs, horsepower, fuel type, maximum speed, weight, and
more.
