After helping readers set up shop, Yost guides them through the process of determining when to replace and when to rebuild parts, discussing the advantages of authenticity when relevant. He also offers expert opinions on tasks that can be done at home and those that should be farmed out to shop pros.

Great engine rebuild book for beginners and experienced alike January 17, 2008

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I had never rebuilt any engine before tackling my 1954 Ford NAA. This book was invaluable in stepping me through every system - what was important and what was not so critical. Not only does it go through every engine components in detail, it covers the auxilary systems as well such as the fuel and cooling systems. It does more than tell you the "what", it also tells you the "why" as well and is filled with sidebar tips and tricks on how to do it right the first time. Since that engine, I have now rebuilt two Ford 8N engines and am currently working on a 1939 9N - I still pull this book out constantly.
I don't write reviews often - this book is worth getting the word out on. You simply will not be dissapointed acquiring this book for your referernce and will get much more than your monies worth.

This book is the essential companion to your tractor manual for rebuilding your tractor engine. Great descriptions, good photos, all the tips and tricks you need to rebuild your engine start to finish. Helpful ideas about when to send parts out for machining or refurbishing. I couldn't have done my engine without this. Highly recommended, best money you will spend.
An excellent book for a beginner or experienced mechanic. April 20, 2000

Mr. Yost has done a very good job of covering very diverse subject matter. Engine designs are so different in the details that most engine books cover just one model or manufacturer. I found all of the information in the book very interesting and will use most of it between the John Deere I just completed and the Ford I need to do soon.Between this book and your model-specific service manual, even an inexperienced mechanic should be able to complete a tractor engine.
