The Complete Book of Farmall Tractors

More about the book

This book details the evolution of the iconic Farmall tractors, showcasing their historical context and technical details alongside stunning contemporary and historic images. Launched by International Harvester in 1923, the Farmall brand introduced a revolutionary line of all-purpose tractors for small- to medium-sized farms. By the 1930s, Farmalls were named with letters, from the compact A, B, and C models to the larger H and M tractors, collectively known as the "Letter Series." Designed by renowned industrial designer Raymond Loewy, these tractors became some of the best-selling American farm tractors. By 1947, over 1 million had been produced, many of which are still in use today, both as collector items and working machines. The author, tractor historian Robert Pripps, explores the entire range of Farmall tractors from their inception to the last model year in 1973, covering all variations, including Diesel and LPG models, as well as the entry-level Cub introduced in 1947. Organized chronologically, the text highlights Farmall's rich history and evolution, complemented by beautiful images and thorough spec tables that detail key technical specifications. This work serves as the ultimate reference for enthusiasts of these legendary tractors.
