This review is from: The American Tractor: A Century of Legendary Machines (Hardcover)
The pictures are great and having grown up having older family members who used various tractors I was looking for this type of pictorial manual for them( my mechanical skills are not of such that I would be attempting to fix any of them any how) but my young grand kids love these to because of the pictures...its a win win.Nice book

This review is from: The American Tractor: A Century of Legendary Machines (Hardcover)
Everyone who has dealt with old machinery knows that all subjects cannot be covered in one book on any particular tractor. The author did a great job of hitting the parts that are the most difficult for would be mechanics to repair and rebuild. It is a wonderful book with a lot of pictures.
