The Piece
1955 agricultural machinery manual.
Original green cloth binding.
Published by Deere & Company, Moline, Illinois.
Primary Description
A mid-century technical reference issued by Deere & Company covering the operation, care, and repair of farm machinery. The volume includes photographic illustrations, diagrams, and data tables documenting agricultural equipment and practices of the post-war period.
Bound in original green cloth, the book reflects the utilitarian design language associated with mid-20th-century industrial publishing. Evidence of prior ownership is present, consistent with its intended working use.
Historical Context
Published during a period of rapid mechanization in American agriculture, this manual represents Deere & Company’s role in shaping modern farming practices. Guides such as this were issued as practical references for operators and technicians rather than consumer-facing publications.
