This review is from: American Farm Tractors in the 1960s (Hardcover)
Fairly decent, however there are some big pieces of misinformation. For example in a picture caption it states that the Oliver 2050 and 2150 had Cat V8 engines. Anyone who knows anything about Olivers knows it was the 2255 with Cat engine. Also a caption of JD tractor says it is a 5010 when it has a row crop front end? Nice pictures and short company history for each of the companies. Just be aware that not all of the info is gospel.
