PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE4
I bought this for a friend that is restoring a 1944 Farmall that he drove as a kid. i did quite a bit of research and this is the only restoration manual
i could find for Farmall. there are lots of nice coffee table books with pics of different models and specs but not to actually take apart and assemble one. My friend had already researched and had bought the same one.
Said it was the one.

Farm all Tractor5
I bought this book as a gift for my husband and all I can say is that he is so excited about it. He is constantly reading it, looking at pictures in it and bragging about what a wonderful book it is. I would recommend it to anyone that is wanting to learn more about the Farm all tractors.

A good beginning for Farmall Restoration5
I recently acquired a partially restored Farmall F 20, and have plans on restoring an F 12 from the ground up. I bought this book to give me an idea of what I have in store for myself. It is very thorough, giving some very useful directions on everything from aesthetic makeovers to removing and replacing pistons and rods. There is also a short section on the history of the Farmall. Furthermore, it includes helpful numbers and addresses that can be used to acquire parts etc... This will no doubt be of great help in my coming endeavor. Even if one's plans do not include restoring old tractors, but the interest (should I say "sickness":), is there this is a great book to browse through.
