The gas station thread over on T Tales got me to thinking. I've got a large, heavy green Texaco hard cover book called "FARM MACHINERY LUBRICATION GUIDES". It has very thick pages, almost like shoe box stuff, and a really thick front and back cover with spiral binding to lay flat when open. There is the likeness of a Case S standard and a beautiful cab-over, tandem axle streamlined Texaco fuel truck on the front cover. Thee copyright date inside a few pages is 1947. There are full lubrication guides for Oliver 60's, 70's , 80's, Massey-Harris Supers, Juniors, 81's and 82's, 30's, 44's, etc... Every big company and most of their tractors, and even machinery is covered, each with it's own page. Has anyone ever seen a book like this one? It is really something, and kind of bridges the gap between tractor and gas station memorabilia. I bought it for $12 at a auto repair garage auction.
