PREFACE

PREFACE

This Twenty-Forth Edition of Hot Line Antique Tractor Guide ® is published alphabetically by manufacturer, type of equipment, then model. This aids in a faster and easier ability to look up a particular model by the novice or the pro.
Each manufacturer’ s section has specifications and serial numbers on antique tractors, crawler tractors, combines, corn heads and grain heads. There are actual auction and retail pricing from the last 12 months located in the back of this guide. Also, in the back, we have a brief description and history on threshing machines dating from the mid 1800’ s through the 1930’ s, plus tractor color history and paint color codes.
In the comment line where it states... other versions avail = other versions available. This means the model was also available as... narrow front, wide front, orchard, high clearance, industrial, rice field, standard, row crop, general purpose, special, 3 wheel center, 3 wheel offset, 4 wheel, etc. The specifications for these other versions would be the same, in most instances.
Weight for each model varies greatly depending on whether ballast was added or not, and if the tractor was weighed with the operator or not.
Pricing Information – Discover what equipment is worth on the auction block and what the dealers are asking for it. Retail pricing and auction results are located at the back of the book.
Hot Line Guides Division has attempted to assemble the most accurate information available to us. Some of the models are not complete because the information that is missing is not available, or very little is known about some of the models. Dates will vary depending upon who interprets the data. We are aware that some of our readers are experts on their specific equipment or brand. If and when mistakes or omissions are found, we would greatly appreciate the help of our readers’ knowledge to correct our data. Please call 800-673-4763 or email subs @ hotlineguides. com to inform us of any incorrect or missing information. This book will be re-evaluated, updated and will become better with your help. We hope you will mention Hot Line Antique Tractor Guide ® as your source for specifications and pricing.
