Download or read book Seventy Years of Farm Tractors 1930 2000 written by Brian Bell and published by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the twentieth century there were some half-million tractors on British farms - more machines than people to drive them. Brian Bell's encyclopaedic book traces the evolution of the farm tractor from the days of starting handle and pan seat to current 4-wheel drive machines with air-conditioned cabs and computer management systems. He deals in particular with developments of the classic period from the 1950s to the 1990s. The book is arranged alphabetically by manufacturer from Allis-Chalmers to Zetor, one hundred marques in total. These are all machines to be found on British farms irrespective of their country of manufacture. Brian runs concisely through the histories of the companies and their major models, illustrated with a wealth of photographs and extracts from sales literature. He adds some special features on items such as hydraulic systems and cold-starting aids. He includes a glossary and full index. This book replaces the author's earlier, successful, Fifty Years of Farm Tractors. Many of the photographs are new and the text has been brought up to date to include developments of the early twenty-first century.

Download or read book Vintage and Classic Tractor Restoration written by Richard Lofting and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 1191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vintage and Classic Tractor Restoration is a complete guide to the subject, looking at how to initially purchase a tractor, through private means or at auction, and then how to restore it back to its former glory, as it would have looked when it left the factory. It is even possible to preserve a classic tractor in its working condition, which has a unique appeal to some tractor collectors and in some ways is harder than a full restoration to undertake. Practical techniques have been amply illustrated throughout the book, ranging from the simple use of a lathe or milling machine to the making from scratch of various tools useful in restoration work. Rather than just replacing items such as carburettor, starter motor or dynamo, practical advice is given on how to test and rebuild these compondents back to full operation. Fifty-two practical picture spreads show techniques suitable for restorers of all levels of skill. Contents: Setting up the workshop and making specialist tools; Finding a tractor to restore; Engine and fuel; Electrical systems; Transmission and brakes; Wheels, tyres and steering; Hydraulics and the three-point linkage; Metalwork; Painting and finishing. Aimed at serious tractor enthusiasts and agricultural machinery engineers and fully illustrated wth 1100 colour photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the first tractors appeared on the scene in the late 1890s, it took another two decades and plenty of modifications for farmers to embrace this once-crude technology in favor of the steam engine, further advancing the power-farming revolution.

Download or read book An Abnormally Normal Childhood written by John Case and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First in a multivolume memoir, An Abnormally Normal Childhood follows John Case from birth to the age of eighteen, regaling readers with the details of his deeds and misadventures. While he grew up in a time of depression and war, John was largely protected from the restrictions and troubles of this time, leading a free- range childhood—so long as he was dutiful to his family and religion and respected others. Childish mischief, hilarious situations, and times of fast sadness and joy fill the pages of this absorbing memoir. This is a story of the way we were, of an early childhood full of innocence and simplicity. Industriousness, ingenuity, and perseverance are brought to life in John’s tales of his youthful foibles. John’s reflections touch on topics from the life of a schoolboy during war, religion and its effects, and corporal punishment, to quiet streets and the use of horses, among other things. Told with an engaging voice and a wry sense of humour, An Abnormally Normal Childhood takes the reader on a journey back to a simpler time and place, complicated by depression and war, and to the history of a childhood now past. John’s vivid recollections—laced with humour, intelligence, and curiosity—bring people and events to life on the page, painting a vivacious picture of his early years.
