"More Orphan Tractors" by Bill Vossler
Since the advent of the tractor age about the year 1900, more than 900 tractor companies failed, leaving thousands of different tractor models as orphans- that is, tractors whose parent company and name no longer survive. This book chronicles the histories of 40 of those companies and their orphan tractors through the words, advertisements, and reflections of the times. There are 270 rare black and white photographs of the tractors displayed or in action.
Companies/tractors include: Abenaque; Adapto-Tractor; Allwork; American; Aultman-Taylor; Baker; Bear; Beltrail; Big Four; Bryan; Buffalo-Pitts; Cletrac; Corn Belt; Creeping Grip; Diamond; Emerson Brantingham; Fageol; Fairbanks Morse; Farquhar; Four Drive; Frick; Geiser; Indiana; Ingeco; Kardell; Lambert; Nichols & Shepard; Nilson; Plowman; Reeves; Sandusky; Simplex; Square Turn; Strite; Turner; Uncle Sam; Universal; Wallis; Whitney; Yuba Ball Tread. If you love Old Iron, this book deserves a place in your collection. Published 2003.
