This concise guide contains an incredible amount of information about IH tractors, and is just the sort of thing a collector would want to pack along in a hip pocket to a show, auction, or similar expeditions. Contains enough information to identify models, locate serial #s and establish manufacturing dates, figure out optional features, etc. I find I've referred to it far more often than I anticipated. It has been well worth the small price.

This little book is great if you are looking for a data book. It runs from 1921 to 1957. This is not a historical book, and doesn't pretend to be. If you read it before you go to a tractor show, you'll enjoy the show that much more because you know what you are looking at! I find it great to read about a particular machine and then see it at a show.

It's a nice book to have but it's just a data book, very little history. Nearly all this information is on the web. Don't spend the bucks if you are only interested in one tractor. You'll only get 1.5 pages of info.

This helpful guide fits in your pocket or glove box and goes easily wherever you do--whether it's to old tractor shows, thresherees or just driving along country roads. It describes McCormick-Deering, Farmall and International tractors in detail from 1921 to 1958, giving you serial numbers, specification data, regular equipment rundowns, attachments and special features of each model. The "introduction" and "understanding the numbers" chapters are very helpful for getting an overview of the line and its history. A chronological table of contents lets you find your tractor at a glance. This book is a must-have for anyone who loves vintage red tractors.

Good reading at a good price. It's like having a huge pile of showroom spec brochures in one little pocket sized book.It would appeal mostly to a collector going to a tractor sale or an auction that wants to bone up on spec's beforehand. I found it interesting to have when I go to tractor pulling events. I like to look up the details of the machines I'm watching.

I was disappointed in this book. There is a lot of missing information and the detail descriptions sections do not contain the historical information one would expect and also contained limited amounts of information. There are online sources that contain much more information than this book and would recommend using those sources.
