Agricultural Technology Manuals collection, 1850-1982.

For this collection, a manual is defined as an illustrated handbook used to assemble, operate, repair, or restore machinery. It may include parts books if the parts are depicted together functionally. Except where noted, all manuals are originals, not facsimiles or reprints. The collection is limited to farm machinery (from a simple garden plow to power farming machines) and some construction machinery (primarily road construction). It does not include automobiles, urban vehicles (i.e., milk trucks, delivery trucks, fire engines), or housewares (i.e., sewing machines, vacuum cleaners, radios). The collection is not limited by geography or by date. Though items date from 1865 to 1982, the bulk of the collection covers U.S. manufacturers from 1930 to 1960.
