Case Tractors
Peter Letourneau
Jerome Increase Case was one of the great pioneers of North American
agriculture, alongside John Deere, Cyrus Hall McCormick, and Henry Ford.
He founded the venerable J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company in 1842 and soon
established its headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin. Case has been celebrated for
its threshers, steam and gas tractors, and a full line of farming implements
that are sold throughout the world. Packed with historical photos,
full-color contemporary shots of collectible tractors, and period
advertisements, Vintage Case Tractors offers a fascinating retrospective of
Case's legacy. The photos and detailed captions trace the history of Case,
highlighting differences in design and styling and showcasing a wide variety of
machines from the most popular models to the rarest, little-known oddities. ISBN
