You and your tractor. The perfect couple. The day you met was unforgettable, the courtship sublime. You're a pair all right, a match made in heaven.

Over time, the cracks in the footings of your relationship begin to show. Your tractor sputters, pops, and dies on occasion. Grease oozes here and there, the front wheels wobble, and the clutch squeals. The bodywork is battered and rusty, the front left tire is always low. And that plow that came with the tractor remains nothing more than an incomprehensible pile of parts gathering dust in the corner of your garage.

In short, the honeymoon is over. Never fear, the answers to all these problems and more are in your hands. Antique Tractor Bible tells you everything you need to know to keep your old iron chugging happily along. From maintenance and troubleshooting to plowing methods and trailering, this comprehensive guide covers the most crucial aspects of buying, owning, and using an antique tractor.

Trying to decide which model is right for you? Author Spencer Yost suggests ideal tractors for work, collecting, or both. Looking for parts suppliers? An extensive appendix will help you track down everything from reproduction carburetor parts to steering wheel restoration shops.
