Product Description

This volume is a splendid collection of 200 color photographs that exhibits how the popular Farmall tractors looked when they rolled off the showroom floors across the nation. Stylish and modern, the tractors hit the market at a time of unprecedented demand (1939-1954), and later a postwar boom drove sales to heights that are still unlikely to be topped. 200 color illustrations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best survey I've seen of classic IH and Farmall tractors., December 12, 1998

By	Dean Vinson (Dayton, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author has done a great job of collecting and sorting out all sorts of interesting details about Cubs, the As through Ms, the 4, 6, and 9-series tractors, and the Super versions. He's also found and reproduced IH's blueprints showing where to place decals on all those tractors, and a whole bunch of terrific color and b/w archival photographs. Those are complemented by very good and useful new color photos with detailed captions, so the book is great fun to look at as well as read--definitely a keeper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Farmall Letter Series Tractors, June 3, 2003

By	Bill J. Engel (Williamsport, PA United States) - See all my reviews

I am restoring a 1951 Farmall M, and purchased this book mainly because the description states that it contains, among other things, factory original decal placement. To my disappointment, however, when I turned to the decal section, there was no info. available for the Farmall M. Thinking I would simply try the Farmall H decal placement section, I found it also to be void of the needed information. Understanding that this particular info. was not available to the author, but perhaps book description could be revised. Otherwise, a pretty informative and entertainig read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Farm all tractor, January 7, 2008

This book was also given to my husband as a gift. He has shared it with others and loves reading and learning more about the model that we have. He said he is really impressed with all the of the details that it talks about. I'd recommend it to anyone that wants to learn more about the tractor.
