 Enjoyable book, but..... August 1, 2007

Nice pictures, and enjoyable to read. But as an actual reference for restoration it is pretty lacking. It varies from being either too general, or in some instances specific to a particular model that you don't own. It either assumes you are a competent backyard mechanic, or that you are new to turning wrenches. The author has apparently never restored a tractor himself, but he has interviewed at least two hobby restorers, and apparently has watched them do a few.
I would rate the book higher (at least 3 stars) if it wasn't titled as an "ultimate restoration" reference. It isn't.

Not Mugh Here, information is scant, lacks detail, content and so on... I've found sales flyers more informative...

This book give a very good overview of what to expect if you've never done this kind of work before. It is not a step-by-step road map on how to do the work, but it'll give you an idea of what is in store for you. It's a nice read to get you psyched-up to start a project.
