An unbelievable value! This collection includes 18 hard-to-find vintage reprints for gas and steam engines as well as tractor and farm equipment. With catalogs featuring Huber's great return-flue engines, Aultman & Taylor’s classic "Sunflower" engine and Avery's giant underslungs, this selection of vintage steam brochures highlights the power and beauty of steam traction engines. Hardcore steamers will also appreciate the classic steam engine troubleshooting guide Traction Engine Troubles. From the richly detailed catalog of Galloway engines to Ottawa Log Saws' just-the-facts operating catalog, these books give a glimpse into the engine features that attracted customers, and how manufacturers hooked buyers' attention. From small-time Harrison Machine Works, manufacturer of the famous Jumbo steam traction engines and Belleville Threshers, to giant McCormick Reaper Works, these catalogs are a walk back to a time when getting the work done meant harnessing the horses or steaming up the traction engine. The gas tractor changed American farming practices forever, and this selection of vintage reprints underscores just a few of the challenges and triumphs of new tractor technology. Catalogs including John Deere, International Harvester, Eagle Manufacturing and more show the competitiveness of the tractor market.

Harvesting Heritage: 150 Years of the American Farm, a special collector's edition featuring more than 35 great essays from Sam Moore, author of Let's Talk Rusty Iron as featured in Farm Collector!
Harvesting Heritage: 150 Years of the American Farm, a special collector's edition featuring more than 35 great essays from Sam Moore, author of Let's Talk Rusty Iron as featured in Farm Collector! As a student of the past, Moore learned his lessons well. Paying careful attention to instructions from his elders, he not only learned the old ways but gained a full appreciation for them. Today, he can tell you not only how farms were once operated, but why farmers did things the way they did. In his regular columns, Moore brings long-forgotten characters to life: neighbors, harvest crews, local mechanics and farm wives of decades past make encore appearances, sharing their wisdom and a laugh or two. Early farm practices and the routines of everyday life of half a century ago are recounted in a fresh new way, flavored both with nostalgia and a healthy dose of reality. Sometimes the old ways were the best ways; other times, not so much. Deeply researched and beautifully written, Moore's essays recapture a time now irretrievably lost - but easily glimpsed through the pages of this exciting new edition.
