Legendary BESTSEllER

Farmall TractorsA Photographic HistoryLee Klancher & Randy Leffingwell

The first general-purpose tractor with narrowly spaced front wheels, the original Farmall was designed to do fine-tuned field cultivation as well as anything a team of farm horses could do—in short, to “farm all.” The rest is history, even legend, in the agriculture industry, and it’s a legend that unfolds in these pages in full color and sharp detail. This big book features 500 photos of Farmall tractors, from that first experimental model introduced in 1924, through the classic lineup of International Harvester models that bore the Farmall name, to the last one to roll off the assembly line.Hardcover 192pp 8.5 x 11” 460 color photos #145819 $25.00
