Dozens of stories of classic tractors unearthed in barns or sheds, full of the thrill of discovery and the love of these classic farm machines.
For the aficionado of farm equipment, or the scion of an old farming family nostalgic for the old days, or the grown-up boy who still loves a classic piece of old-time machinery, the vintage tractor can be a thrilling find like no other. This book tells dozens of stories of such discoveries, of the treasured old tractor parked in a shed since 1927, of the pristine model unearthed at an estate sale, of the broken-down old beauty stashed in a barn where generations of children have made their secret hideaways. These are the classic tractors that are often as hard to find as a needle in a haystack—but far more fun to discover, as all of these delightful stories make abundantly clear.

Writer and photographer Scott Garvey is a regular contributor to the world’s largest tractor magazine, Classic Tractor. He is based in Saskatchewan, Canada. Roger Welsch can best be described as a cross between Erma Bombeck and Dr. Ruth, except male and living in Nebraska with his wife and dogs. Before turning his talents to canine psychology, Roger was best known as the fat guy in overalls on CBS Sunday Morning, where he offered up essays on rural and small-town life on the Plains.
