This Old Tractor: A Treasury of Vintage Tractors and Family Farm Memories

For many farmers their farm tractor is almost a part of the family. This Old Tractor is the ultimate oral and visual tribute to the classic farm tractor. The text is made up of humorous and sentimental tractor stories, essays, and memories about such momentous events as a farmer's first tractor, learning to drive a tractor, and the "art" of collecting and restoring tractors. 
Part family farm nostalgia, part reminiscences about faithful old tractors, This Old Tractor is chock-full of endearing pieces written by all the well-known tractor book authors and historians: Randy Leffingwell, Ralph W. Sanders, Robert Pripps, C. H. Wendel, Bill Vossler, Don Macmillan, and CBS Sunday Morning's Roger Welsch. Other writers and farmers, such as John Hildebrand (author of Mapping the Family Farm), Sara De Luca (author of Dancing the Cows Home), and Patricia Penton Leimbach (author of several farm life books and considered the Erma Bombeck of the farm), also contribute. We've even tracked down historical tractor poetry! 
The text of This Old Tractor is enhanced throughout by a variety of artwork, including farming paintings by Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton, cartoons by Bob Artley (author of the syndicated cartoon series Memories of a Former Kid), historical photos, and full-color photos by Ralph W. Sanders, Randy Leffingwell, Andrew Morland, and others. Colorful old ads, tractor catalogs and magazine covers, and tractor toys are sure to bring back warm memories of cherished days spent on the family farm.

From the Foreword, By Ken Hoffman:...In this wonderful little book, Jim McMurtray, astronomer, teacher and friend, conveys these and many other important ideas in a unique manner and style born of his own life's experience. A glance at the Table of Contents will tell you the enormous range of things touched upon:science literacy, science research, university science, school science, science teaching, and ancient science, plus a list of other topics that can best be described as "for all X, science and X". The variable X ranges from religion to art, economics, politics, engineering, the movies, and the press. Given the breadth and the brevity of the book, it could hardly be a philosophical treatise on any of the above. It wasn't intended to be. But it has quite insightful things to say in each of its commentaries. And that is not an easy thing to do. There are also a couple of "surprise" sections that we won't mention, because we don't want to spoil them for you.If that is what the book is about, what is it like? That's easy to answer: In a nutshell, this book is like Jim McMurtray himself. It is irreverent, at times heretical. It is insightful, at times wise. It islaced with wit and humor throughout. It has many serious things to say,yet it never takes itself too seriously. It shines spotlights on unattired emperors, especially those whom others see as fully clothed.
