The product of years of exhaustive research, the all-new Standard Catalogue of Farm Tractors represents the most complete guide to the first 70 years of North American farm tractor manufacturing ever published. Around the turn of the century hundreds of small companies raced to perfect the application of the internal combustion engine to farm machinery. Today, only a handful survive, but all had a significant impact on agriculture and are remembered by to day's tractor enthusiasts.
This book tells the story of those tractor-building pioneers. More than 900 manufacturers are listed and more than 1,500 different models of tractors are described and illustrated. In addition, collector prices in up to four grades of condition are listed-for the first time in any book for many of the most commonly encountered tractor models.
Noted historian C.H. Wendel is one of America's best-known authorities on historical tractors, internal combustion engines and mechanized agriculture. He has written more than 30 books over the last three decades, including Unusual Vintage Tractors and the Encyclopedia of American Farm Implements & Antiques.
