Should make them easier to sell if you can offer an accurate description of the items. Good luck. Never heard of "Wills gt book". I'll have to google that and obtain one. Thanks guys.

Yes, that is the book referred to. If you can pick it up for $12.00 or so, that is a smoking deal because when it first came out, the price was around $30.00.

Overall, Wills did a pretty good job and I found the book to be quite informative and interesting. However, I also noticed several errors in his discussions about Colt, Case and Ingersoll. But that is highly understandable, considering the lack of truthful information available along with the perpetuated urban myth that I still see appear in forums. It became blatantly obvious to me that Wills is a Cub Cadet lover at heart, as much of the discussion about that brand is greater in quantity then what he had to write about other marques.

But once again, this is to be expected because the whole phenomenon of collecting and showing lawn and garden tractors is relatively new and far too much factual information was lost over time or just never recorded. Will's book makes for a good read if you are really into the world of garden tractors. So far, very little has been written about them and I applaud Will's efforts to shed some light on this topic.

At one time the book was available at TSC. The last time I looked at their magazine rack though, I didn't see it. Amazon is likely the cheapest place and it'll ship right to your door. Tom is right, Oscar Will is pretty big into the IH tractors, and I believe has written other books soley on them. Another good read is the Ken Updike book on IH. Theirs a good sized section on gt's and lo boys, and which competition they were trying to compete with. Im not a IH guy, but I found it worthwhile and entertaining nonetheless.

I always wished there was a Colt, Case and Ingersoll book, but ive yet to see one, and there probably isn't enough interest amongst enthusiasts for someone to write one. Especially when you think how small the brand is as far a gt's go, when compared to other companies like IH and deere.
