Excerpt from The Model T Ford Car, Truck and Conversion Sets, Also Genuine Ford Farm Tractor Construction, Operation and Repair: A Complete Practical Treatise Explaining the Operating Principles of All Parts of the Ford Automobile, With Complete Instructions for Driving and Maintenance <p>The maker's instruction book is excellent but it is necessarily brief as there is no opportunity for an ex tended exposition of principles involved. Many operators desire to know 'the first principles before studying the operation and repair. While considerable instruction is given in the writer's large work on motoring, The Mod ern Gasoline Automobile, it is not possible to cover any specific make of car completely in a general treatise. <p>Many requests have been received from motorists for a book on the Ford car that would enter into elementary exposition more than the manufacturer's instruction book does and cover some of the points involved in repair and maintenance more completely. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Steam Tractor Encyclopedia
The Steam Tractor Encyclopedia

This must-read book is packed with fascinating real-life stories about the steam era on the American farm. It features over 500 unforgettable photographs that open a portal back in time. Most of the first steamers for farms were equipped with wheels or skids and were pulled by horses. Steam traction engines later came with various drive trains that enabled them to pull themselves along the open road. Steamers mechanized agriculture, ensured population growth, and transformed the United States and Canada into contenders in world economic markets. In 1910, a Department of Agriculture survey found that 72,000 farm steam engines were in use in the United States. Until the first edition of The Steam Tractor Encyclopedia, no book had presented anything approaching a complete photographic record of agricultural steam engines in America. Dr. Robert T. Rhode is one of the world’s experts on steam engine history on the American farm, and John F. Spalding has one of the world’s largest collections of photographs of agricultural steam engines. Combining Rhode’s knowledge and Spalding’s photographs has resulted in an expanded edition of the most complete steam tractor encyclopedia in print in the United States or Canada. The new expanded edition of this popular encyclopedia features over 600 historical pictures of steam engines and provides the histories of over 80 companies that built farm steam engines in the United States and Canada. Included are portable engines and traction engines, which today are often called steam tractors. The book also has photos of hit and miss engines and antique gas tractors. The second edition is nearly twice as large as the first edition was. The book has been completely revised and has a totally new design. 400 pages 2011

Tractors From John Deere to Lamborghini
Tractors From John Deere to Lamborghini

<p>Tractors provides a vivid pictorial exploration of tractors through the ages, beginning with John Froelich’s invention – produced locally by the Waterloo Gasoline Traction Engine Company – through the first mass-produced models, Henry Ford’s Fordson and the Massey-Ferguson MF35, up to the latest driverless tractor, the John Deere 8R 410, which allows farmers to plot exact paths using a GPS-configured app. In between the book shows many of the world’s best-known models in action, including the New Holland Agriculture, Fendt, Valtra and Lamborghini. The evolution of the tractor in the late 19th century with the development of the Froelich tractor in Iowa in 1892 revolutionized farming, providing farmers with the means to combine the power of the internal combustion engine with the latest farming methods. Farming was never the same again. In the 1940s, hydraulic systems were developed to make tractors more valuable and comfortable, adjustable seats and headlights were installed, and the modern tractor became a reality. Illustrated with 180 photographs, Tractors is a pictorial celebration of these essential machines through the ages.</p>
