Good resource,

This review is from: How to Restore Your John Deere Two-Cylinder Tractor (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
Being new to the tractor restoation hobby, I found the book to be a good resource for information. The index of salvage yards and parts houses alone was worth the purchase price. I found one of those "hard to find parts" in three phone calls and it was shipped out that day!

This review is from: How to Restore Your John Deere Two-Cylinder Tractor (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
Much of the information contained in this book is dated and has been gleaned from an antique tractor list over several years. Most of this is second hand information not from the author's personal experience.
