| The text reads: "There's a garage for the automobile - a hangar for the heavier-than-air machine - Why not a tracover for the tractor? The modern farmer has a place for every tool and implement, where it will not be damaged by neglect and the weather, or misplaced and lost. The tractor is a permanent part of a modern farm equipment. The necessity for having a suitable housing for it is evident. The tracover protects the tractor from damage by weather. Here it can be gone over carefully, to see that every part is in proper shape. Repairs can be made quickly, and better than in the field. In the tracover is a place for every tool used on or about the tractor. There is a workbench. Every tool is in its place. There is plenty of natural light by day and lighting can be provided for night repair work. All the doors may be locked. Some people are careless about returning borrowed tools. When you need tools for the tractor, you find them in their place. The tracover, as illustrated, is large enough for a Yuba Model 20-35 with a canopy, and for an automobile besides. We will be glad to furnish Yuba owners with plans for a tracover, material list and blueprints, free." |
