100 Years of Vintage Farm Tractors A Century of Tractor Tales and Heartwarming Family Farm Memories
100 Years of Vintage Farm Tractors A Century of Tractor Tales and Heartwarming Family Farm Memories

This book is devoted to die-hard tractor fans who 'get it' -- those who get excited restoring, reading about and revelling in images of beloved farm tractors-from gas-powered tractors to Poppin' Johnnies and Minne-Mos, from Farmalls to Fordsons. Stories are by authors such as Justin Isherwood (horse versus tractor farming), Bill Holm (our faith in machinery), Hamlin Garland (threshing days), Patricia Penton Leimbach (a farmwife's view of tractors), Loren Paine (tractors as 'man things'), Jerry Apps (home-made tractors), Orlan Skare (the agony and ecstasy of tractor seats), as well as the famous first story of super salesman Alexander Botts and the Earthworm Tractor by William Upson Hazlett. The fabulous artwork perfectly complements the text, creating the ideal tractor mood; it includes many newly discovered paintings by Walter Haskell Hinton, cartoons by Bob Artley, and photographs by Andrew Morland, Ralph Sanders, and others.
