5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books for the history of the Farmall line!, October 2, 2001

By	Steven Gussey "smgussey" (AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ralph Sanders does an excellent job of explaining the history of the Farmall from the invention of the reaper all the way to the Tenneco buyout of International Harvester. Excellent pictures, useful and historical text, and wonderful explainations of every tractor pictured. Pictured tractors have some of the best restorations that I have ever seen! A great book for anyone interested in the history of the Farmall line of tractors and International Harvester Company.
