What we sell

We stock thousands of brochures and hundreds of manuals for all makes of tractors, as well as for combines and farm machinery. We also have extensive stocks of literature for steam traction engines, earthmoving machinery, Land Rovers, trucks and vans. A selection of early books including many rare titles on tractors, farming and early machinery is always available.

Our prices reflect the market value and rarity of the items and are usually less than auction prices. We try to source items in the best possible condition considering the age of the material. We do not issue on-line catalogues because our stock changes daily. Contact us with your interests and/or requirements and we will supply by mail order.

We buy tractor literature pre-1970 as well as early steam and farming items, books,
magazines, old photographs & posters.

Our UK postal/packing rates are £3.00 per order for brochures with heavier items (manuals, etc) and overseas at cost. Orders sent at buyers risk but we can offer an insured service at extra cost.
