Book Description
A detailed Reference Guide to Metal Pedal Tractors with full color pictures. Small model toy tractors have been on the market since the 1920's but pedal tractors were not produced until the late 1940's. The first pedal tractor, a John Deere Model A was produced by Eska in 1949. It is prized by collectors and can bring a high price in good condition. Ertl came out with pedal tractors shortly after Eska and continues to produce them today. Scale Models has also manufactured pedal tractors since the 1980's in their U.S. based plant. Since the 1970's pedal tractors have enjoyed renewed popularity mostly due to their collectability. Today approximately sixty percent of all pedal tractors are sold to collectors. The other forty percent are sold for use by children. Collecting and use of these mini tractors as riding toys are not mutually exclusive. Kids can enjoy riding them and the value will still increase over time if they are not abused. Kids love pedal tractors, in part because they are much like the real thing. Children age's three to seven are the perfect age to enjoy these special toy tractors. One popular event at many county fairs is the kiddie tractor pull. These pulls are just like tractor pulls for adults but with pedal tractors they operate under kid power only. The following tractors are included in the new book: Agco Allis, All American, Allis Chalmers, Case, Case International, Caterpillar, Cub Cadet, Duetz-Allis, Farmall, Farmer Boy, Ford, Heisler, Heston, International, John Deere, Kubota, Massey Harris, Massey Ferguson, Minneapolis Moline, New Holland, Oliver, Tractol, White, & White Oliver. Also includes custom models, parts, scale model private issues, trailers, and umbrellas.

In a Pickle
Author: Jerry Apps
Publisher: Terrace Books
ISBN: 0299223035
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
The year is 1955. Andy Meyer, a young farmer, manages the pickle factory in Link Lake, a rural town where the farms are small, the conversation is meandering, and the feeling is distinctly Midwestern. Workers sort, weigh, and dump cucumbers into huge vats where the pickles cure, providing a livelihood to local farmers. But the H. H. Harlow Pickle Company has appeared in town, using heavy-handed tactics to force family farmers to either farm the Harlow way or lose their biggest customer—and, possibly, their land. Andy, himself the owner of a half-acre pickle patch, works part-time for the Harlow Company, a conflict that places him between the family farm and the big corporation. As he sees how Harlow begins to change the rural community and the lives of its people, Andy must make personal, ethical, and life-changing decisions.
