This is the 53rd Annual Farm & Industrial Equipment Red Book, the January 31, 1969 issue of Implement & Tractor, Vol. 84, No. 3, published by Intertec Publishing Corp. of Kansas City, Missouri.

The red cover shows wear at the edges and corners, and the pages are whole with no rips or tears, as the photos show.

The cover promises Nebraska Test Reports, Hydraulic Components Data, and Equipment Specifications, and inside you get spec tables for self propelled combines, air cooled engines, and agricultural wheel tractors. Period ads run beside the tables, including Gates PowerBand belts, a Donaldson air cleaner, and Firestone tractor tires.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
