To the admirer of farm machinery in all its gritty splendor, the
tractor is more than the mechanical workhorse of the modern field.
It is a testament to American know-how, a work of mechanical art
truly in the American grain. Among these hard-working machines,
Ford tractors hold a special place after nearly a century of
bringing innovation, dependability, and good old American muscle to
farms and fields worldwide. This book provides a hands-on guide to
restoring these venerable machines from the ground up, from the
first models made to those produced as recently as 1965. With
hundreds of full-color photographs, the guide is not just clear and
easy-to-follow, but also a feast for the eyes for tractor
aficionados. Beginning at the beginning--how to choose and buy your
tractor--Tharran Gaines takes readers through step-by-step
directions for the complete restoration of Fordson, Ford-Ferguson,
and Ford tractors. In straightforward terms he covers everything
from troubleshooting and disassembly to engine and gearbox
rebuilds, electrical work, reassembly, painting, and
post-restoration care and maintenance. Informative photographs and
proven tips, techniques, and money-saving advice from experienced
restorers make the book an invaluable resource for amateur mechanic
and professional alike. Also included is an appendix listing
sources for parts, decals, tires, etc., as well as addresses for
tractor clubs and collector associations.
