The Gas Engine on the Farm, III – Starting Troubles and Their Remedy, Bulletin 133, by F.G. Behrends and F.L. Fairbanks, originally published by the New York State College of Agriculture, Ithaca, NY, February, 1930. Reproduced by Nation Builder Books, Mebane, NC, 2012. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 paperback, 58 pages. Please note that this is a photoduplicated reproduction of the 1930 original. The accompanying images were scanned from a reprint, not the original. Now look here, folks, I know it is not that rare here in eBay to claim that this or that is rare, but rarely have I led you astray when I make the rare claim that what I’m offering for auction is rare. Such is the case here. I performed a perfunctory search of the internet, and found no copies of this little gem available. It's listed on Google Books, but that's all there is: just the title. No page scans, no nothin'! I would give you the detailed Table of Contents, but that would be giving away an excellent checklist of what might be causing you to curse, stomp, pull your hair, and generally express exasperation with the fickle- or even evil-natured inanimate hunk of metal sitting in your workshop. So, I’m just giving you the most basic chapter headings and sub-headings. I’ll even give you some of the sub-sub-headings, which are pretty much the same throughout the book. To get the sub-sub-sub-headings, where you might actually be able to figure out what’s wrong, and maybe even what to do about it, you’re gonna have to buy the book, and dive into it. JOB 1.
