From the Author
One time when my wife Linda was helping me sell books, a woman picked up a copy of Love, Sex, and Tractors and asked meaningfully, "Sex? Tractor repair?" and Linda, without hesitation, explained: "The way Rog does them, they’re pretty much the same thing." That was a real compliment. I think. — Author and Humorist Roger Welsch

This review is from: The Tractor Trilogy (Hardcover)
If you enjoy fixing old cars, old tractors, or old machinery, you'll love reading this book. He has a very humorous writing style and he writes it from the level of a beginner just learning to be a mechanic. It is a great read!
