Jerome Increase Case was one of the great pioneers of North American agriculture, alongside John Deere, Cyrus Hall McCormick, and Henry Ford. He founded the venerable J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company in 1842 and soon established its headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin. Case has been celebrated for its threshers, steam and gas tractors, and a full line of farming implements that are sold throughout the world. Packed with historical photos, full-color contemporary shots of collectible tractors, and period advertisements, "Vintage Case Tractors" offers a fascinating retrospective of Case's legacy. The photos and detailed captions trace the history of Case, highlighting differences in design and styling and showcasing a wide variety of machines from the most popular models to the rarest, little-known oddities.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The "venerable" Case Company made a distinguished name for itself in manufacturing threshers, steam and gasoline tractors, and other farm implements. Founder Jerome Case was "one of the great pioneers of North American agriculture." Case tractors are still made, 150 years after the company's founding; but here the author surveys the advancements made in Case tractors from the late nineteenth century to the 1950s. In lively text and a handsome presentation of black-and-white and color illustrations, classic models are fondly remembered and appreciated. For vintage-vehicle fans or readers simply interested in how rural life "used to be." Brad Hooper
