A hot box on the road can wreck a traction engine and your day. Maggard writes for the man running steam in the field: how to fire well, why flues must stay clean, which oil to use, and how to spot trouble before it stops you cold. Plain mechanic's talk for the age of steam threshing.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
