about plowing, harrowing, planting and cultivating published by Allis Chalmers, how many editions were there?  Does any body know?  Did they print any from say the 50's with the WD's, 45's and D series tractors?
 
Thanks

Wil

I have bid on em before on Ebay but never was willing to pay what they brought.  They seem to be popular when they show up.

Thanks guys!

Glenn, where do you find the date? Mine says 2nd edition on it but I have looked it over and have not found a date on it or anything that says what printing it is.
The ebay market seems to be quite steady at between $26 and $27 (before shipping) on the last 2 that just sold.....
