Identifying Horse-Drawn Farm Implements

About the Book

This guide to the identification of old farm equipment has been assembled to help those who have grown up since the horse-to-tractor farming conversion identify the myriad of horse-powered farm implements still to be found. The identification process is simple and quick, and is based on the presence or absence of such readily recognizable features as wheels and teeth. Photographs and identifying features of essentially all of the types of equipment used in the United States during the early part of the twentieth century are included.

About the Author

Dr. Runyan grew up on a horse powered farm in Oklahoma and before he left it had used many of the implements shown in this guide. That farm is sill in the family, and indeed, several of the implements shown came from it.
