This was a good book, I will definatly keep it as a reference. It had a good history of the companies that came together to form Oliver and later on WFE. It includes lots of original pictures and descriptions of the equipment. I just wish it had more background behind Oliver and their products but if your looking for interesting pictures of tractors you may have never seen before this is a great book.

This book is the only book we have found that has the most information about Oliver equipment!!! Great book!!!!

If you want to find out more about the beginning of the Oliver & Hart Parr tractors, I recommend this book. It gives detailed information on all the tractors released and some that weren't released. This is a must have for Oliver/Hart-Parr tractor collectors. I don't have much else to say but that this book is worth the money!

I ordered this book from Amazon, unseen. It had a good reputation as an early compresensive work on Oliver and Hart-Parr tractors, well illustrated. Unfortunately, this is a very poorly executed reprint. Had I seen it first, I would never have spent the money. All photographs and illustrations are dark and muddy. Evidently, "kp books," chose to cut costs on production. I also understand that while Wendel did a good job for his time and in the original printing, new information has since come to light; so I don't think this book is the thorough coverage it could once claim. This is basically a, "$9.95 clearance item."
