While many American entrepreneurs tried their hand at tractor making, three companies stepped to the forefront: John Deere, International Harvester (makers of Farmall tractors), and Ford. From the assembly line to the field, this book provides the in-depth story of the production of America's most notable tractors. More than 375 photos, original ads, and brochures showcase these legendary tractors. Specifications, serial number listings, and production charts make this an invaluable reference for collector and enthusiasts alike.
