Offers a unique slice of history that tractor enthusiasts will cherish. Models featured include the 1913 John Deere Waterloo Boy, 1917 Fordson, 1924 Farmall, Allis-Chalmers U, Massey-Harris General Purpose 4WD, Oliver 88, Minneapolis-Moline U-GP and many more. An award-winning writer and photographer, author Randy Leffingwell traveled across the country to photograph and research Farm Tractor Milestones. He worked closely with noted agricultural historian Guy Fay to dig up fresh information on the machines that shaped the agricultural industry, and the two drew on decades of experience with the hobby to assemble this book.
