Customer Reviews

This is GREAT how-to book.

Everyone who has dealt with old machinery knows that all subjects cannot be covered in one book on any particular tractor. The author did a great job of hitting the parts that are the most difficult for would be mechanics to repair and rebuild. It is a wonderful book with a lot of pictures.
