5.0 out of 5 stars You have to read this book!, 6 May 1999

By A Customer

This book is one the antique tractor restorer - and anyone with an interest in tractors or machinery - *must* read. Welsch's humor and tales add a great deal to the subject matter - I laughed out loud a number of times while reading the book. There are many not-so-obvious and simple-but-great ideas about working on old equipment, all of which are presented from the viewpoint of a person that considered himself a very beginning amateur (he had never even changed his own engine oil). This book is understandable and enjoyable regardless of your skill level or mechanical ability - I suspect many will read it just for the humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear insight into the love affair between men and tractors., 20 Dec 1998

By A Customer

Just why do men love these old hunks of metal so much? Roger Welsch has it right on, and even makes a believer out of a doubting wife (or at least provides a little comprehension). My husband is a "doer," not a "studier," but he couldn't put this book down. I have no doubt that he found many useful tips, and I know he certainly related to Roger's blow-by-blow description of his love affair with his tractors. He probably even picked up a couple of tips on how to hide them from his long-suffering wife! A "must read" for any man who loves to tinker with old junk--and sometimes even gets them running!

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for tractor lovers worldwide......, 23 Jul 1998

By A Customer

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Witty and light-hearted tales of a man wrapped up in the love of old tractors. A must read for tractor lovers and gearheads worldwide.

Enjoy.
