This tribute to 100 years of vintage farm tractors is for all those who "get it": those who appreciate the lines of a recently restored tractor glistening in the sun; those who get goosebumps at the distinctive sounds of the famous Poppin' Johnnies; those who plan their budgets and days around the careful restoration of that Minne-Mo or Farmall.

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.
