<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The <i>Complete Book of Classic Ford Tractors </i>presents the evolution of the popular machines from 1917 to 1996.

Though manufacture was exclusive to Great Britain by the 1930s, Ford tractors returned stateside with a roar in 1939 with the <b>9N</b>, which incorporated the hitch system of Irish engineer and inventor Harry Ferguson. <p/> In this comprehensive addition to <b>Motorbooks' Complete Book Series</b>, tractor historian Robert Pripps provides a detailed and complete account of Ford tractors, from the earliest <b>Fordsons</b> to the <b>Ford-Fergusons</b>, the <b>Ford N Series</b>, and the <b>Ford "World" tractors</b> manufactured into the 1970s. Amply illustrated, the book also offers extensive information on the numerous <b>options</b> and <b>accessories</b>, <b>implements</b> and <b>variations</b> that came out of Dearborn, Sherman Bros., and the great Funk Bros. hot rod conversions that could make each of these popular machines utterly unique. In between, the book traces <b>year-to-year model changes</b> within each series. <p/> With content from Pripps' best-selling <i>The Big Book of Ford Tractors </i>and <i>The Illustrated Ford and Fordson Tractor Buyer's Guide</i>, <i>The Complete Book of Ford Tractors</i> is supplemented with <b>new text</b>, <b>data-packed specification boxes</b>, and a largely new selection of <b>incredible color photography</b> and <b>period advertising</b>. <p/> The only book offering comprehensive coverage of the breadth of collectible Ford tractors, <i>The Complete Book of Ford Tractors </i>is a must-have volume for every tractor enthusiast's library. <b>Also available from the Complete Books series: The Complete Book of Classic John Deere Tractors and The Complete Book of Farmall Tractors.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>"Photos of the amazing experimental tractors alone are a good reason to buy to book.
