Following the rating system generally established among car collectors, this comprehensive value guide provides the values, in five degrees of condition, of antique American farm tractors and crawlers built from the turn of the century through the 1950s. Each chapter is devoted to one of the period's major manufacturers -- John Deere, Farmall, Caterpillar, Oliver, Minneapolis-Moline, Ford, and more -- and the values listed are based on prices actually realized at auction. In addition, two expert collectors compare their notes on each model, while the expert photography of Randy Leffingwell depicts the tractors and crawlers discussed.

"In this study of the interaction between agricultural mechanization and rural culture, J. Sanford Rikoon focuses his analysis on grain threshing patterns in the Midwest from its early nineteenth-century beginnings--manual flailing and animal treading--to the adoption of the combined harvester-thresher between 1925 and 1945. The "golden age of threshing" began in the late nineteenth century, when steam engines and threshing machines became familiar sights on the rural harvest landscape. Rikoon considers the succession of threshing systems in terms of the relations between specific technologies, occupational practices, and the social organization of work"--Book jacket.
