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.

Identifying Horse-Drawn Farm Implements of Texas Short book, well written with generally excellent pictures. The book would be better if the author had visited additional states and included more horse-drawn equipment as most of the examples are from the Texas, Arkansas area so equipment from New England, Upper Mid-west, Great Plains, Central Basin, California and Pacific Northwest is not identified.
Fascinating nostalgia This is a neat little book with lots of photos and interesting descriptions of old farm equipment. Dr Runyan's farm background and love of his subject help the reader get a real understanding of the ingenious devices that started America on the road to become a world agricultural powerhouse.
