The History Of Tractors With Great Photographs.......2005-05-27
This is a nice book for persons involved in farming and tractors. It is an attractive large-size full-color book that is an excellent coffee table book. If you have been involved with tractors over the years, you will certainly enjoy this book's look back on the American Farm Tractors over the years.
Barnes & Noble republished this book in 2002 with the very same cover. Whether you locate the original 1991 edition or the more recent 2002 edition you will have essentially the same book.
This book will definately be a "keeper"........2002-05-10
Bought for my husband for Christmas since he comes from a few generations of tractor owners this book was the perfect gift for him to gather his son on his lap and share stories and pictures. We wish it had more pictures of more classic oldies. The brief histories given on the pictured tractors are pretty good though. I bought this book second hand, in great condition and plan on saving to give to our son when he has children so he can pass along the stories.

Allis-Chalmers Tractors.......2001-12-28
I was a bit disappointed in this book. It would seem that these guys had an old A-C day on a farm, then got a camera and decided to take pictures and make a book. There are alot of colorful pictures of reconditioned tractors, but I was looking for a more data based and historical account of A-C.
allis chalmers tractors,enthusiast color series.......2001-08-01
brief narrative,uses same picture over and over,would not reccomend!!!
Orange Tractor Paradise.......2000-08-18
This book covers the whole spectrum of Allis Chalmers farm equipment from the Roto-Baler to the newest four-wheel-drive models introduced before the AGCO takeover. It provides interesting facts about failures of some of the tractors and successes with technological advances that were made by AC. I found it a very fascinating book with wonderful pictures that are the signature of the Enthusiast Color Series.
My only complaint about this book is the way the pictures of the same tractor are repeated again and again at different angles. The captions are written in such a way that the intention of the authors appears to be to make the reader believe they are different tractors. Close inspection shows that they are shots of the same tractor taken on the same day. (For example, the same AC 6-12 is shown on pages 10, 11, and 12).
Allis Chalmers - Pictorial and Explanation.......2000-04-07
I had just purchased an Allis Chalmers Model B with the idea of saving it from the foundry. I needed a book to get an idea of the history of Allis Chalmers and to see where my 'Alice B' fit in the history of A-C. (When I was a youngster, I had driven my uncle's A-C D-17, but a D-17 was too big for my house in town).
The book contains great pictures, a bit of history, and is enjoyable to read.
I would recommend it to anyone interested in a bit of 'Old Iron'.

One of the best books for the history of the Farmall line!.......2001-10-03
Ralph Sanders does an excellent job of explaining the history of the Farmall from the invention of the reaper all the way to the Tenneco buyout of International Harvester. Excellent pictures, useful and historical text, and wonderful explainations of every tractor pictured. Pictured tractors have some of the best restorations that I have ever seen! A great book for anyone interested in the history of the Farmall line of tractors and International Harvester Company.
