Farmall Tractors: A Photographic History |

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—a legend that unfolds in these pages in full color
and
sharp detail. This big book features five hundred photographs 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
(the landmark five-millionth tractor produced at the Farmall plant in
Illinois). Order
