Nice pictures, and enjoyable to read. But as an actual reference for restoration it is pretty lacking. It varies from being either too general, or in some instances specific to a particular model that you don't own. It either assumes you are a competent backyard mechanic, or that you are new to turning wrenches. The author has apparently never restored a tractor himself, but he has interviewed at least two hobby restorers, and apparently has watched them do a few.

I would rate the book higher (at least 3 stars) if it wasn't titled as an "ultimate restoration" reference. It isn't.

This book give a very good overview of what to expect if you've never done this kind of work before. It is not a step-by-step road map on how to do the work, but it'll give you an idea of what is in store for you. It's a nice read to get you psyched-up to start a project.

Not Mugh Here, information is scant, lacks detail, content and so on... I've found sales flyers more informative...

The book is pretty comprehensive, and appears the info contained will be helpful along with a parts manual and service manual to provide pertinent info if I need to order rebuild supplies. Service manual details how to pull entire tractor apart and correctly re-assemble. Hope I don't have to go that far!!

Very interesting for restorers. Some new info and helpful at all stages. A good book to read before starting a restoration.
