The authors chronicle changes and improvements provide hard-to-find information on design and development of the models, serial numbers, codes, production numbers, and anything else an F series enthusiast could want to know. Indispensable to anyone restoring a Farmall F series tractor, the book also provides a clear and fascinating picture of an icon of agricultural history and the machinery of Americana.
The stock market crashed and the country's fields turned to dust, and the tractor, that workhorse of American agriculture, was one more casualty. But in the face of disaster, International Harvester kept improving on its successful Farmall tractor and finally arrived at the F series, which includes some of the finest and best-loved tractors of all time. These are the tractors that pulled American farmers out of the Great Depression. Archival and modern colour photographs and detailed text follow the series from the F-12, F-14, and the vastly popular F-20 that replaced the Farmall Regular to huge machines like the F-30, which was better-suited to breaking the Great Plains.
Many tractor enthusiasts love restoring their tractors to the original "off the assembly line" condition. It can be a daunting task to make sure that every part, and colour is correct for the year and model. Original Farmall Regular and F Series provides the information one needs to restore a Regular, F Series, or Standard tractor to its original fresh-from-the-factory state. Information such as engine codes, serial numbers, wheels, transmission, and drive systems are included.
This book also features decal placement, instructions for factory paint and finish of individual parts, and much more.
