<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>The Complete Book of Farmall Tractors </i>details the complete evolution of the popular marque's iconic models. The engaging text includes series evolution, historical context, and technical details, accompanied by beautiful contemporary and historic images. </b> <p/> In 1923, International Harvester revolutionized the tractor world by conceiving the Farmall brand, <b>a revolutionary new line of all-purpose tractors designed for small- to medium-sized farms</b>. Eventually offering an array of engine and equipment options, by the 1930s Farmalls were bestowed with letters as their model names, from the compact A, B, and C models to the larger H and M tractors. Fittingly known as the "Letter Series," the tractors were even given a streamlined design by famed industrial designer Raymond Loewy. Not surprisingly, they went on to become some of the most widely produced and <b>best-selling American farm tractors of all time</b>, to be followed beginning in 1954 with the numbered Hundred Series models. <p/> By 1947, Farmall had built over 1 million tractors. Amazingly, <b>many are still in use today</b>, not just as collector vehicles, but <b>often as working farm tractors</b>. In <i>The Complete Book of Farmall Tractors</i>, tractor historian Robert Pripps <b>explores the entire range of Farmall tractors, from their inception to their final model year in 1973</b>. Pripps includes all models, from Diesel and LPG versions to orchard tractors. Pripps also explains the evolution of Farmall lines and gives coverage to the entry-market Cub unveiled in 1947, as well as the Hundred Series, right up to the cancellation of the Farmall name in 1973. <p/> Through <b>engaging text and fascinating photography</b>, <i>The Complete Book of Farmall Tractors</i> preserves the story of the legendary pioneering machines in detail. The book's content is <b>organized chronologically</b>, and its detailed text shines a light on Farmall's long history and evolution. <b>Beautiful images</b>, both modern and historic, bring the story to life and thorough spec tables highlight <b>key technical and performance specifications</b>. The result is the ultimate reference to some of the most popular farm tractors in history.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Robert N. Pripps </b>has authored or co-authored dozens of farm tractor books, including <i>The Field Guide to Classic Farm Tractors</i>, <i>The Complete Book of Farmall Tractors</i><i>, </i>and more. He lives near Park Falls, Wisconsin, where he owns a maple syrup farm.</p></p>
