Early farm tractors came with one, two, three or four driving wheels, crawler tracks, pedals, levers and even reins, and a man who could run one make might be lost on another. Whitman sets out the principles common to them all: engines and their parts, fuels and carburetors, ignition and battery systems, transmissions and layout, with practical advice on handling, care and repair.
A clear window on the machine that remade American farming, for vintage-tractor restorers and historians of technology. Download the free EPUB.
