ALAN C. KING IS QUITE FAMOUS FOR HIS BOOKS. SEE BELOW FOR SOME DETAILS ON HIS LIFE AND CAREER: Alan King of Delaware, Ohio, could easily be called the "King of Farm Equipment Books." During a 27-year career in the publishing business, he's authored 49 volumes and reprinted 175 farm-related manuals and catalogs totaling nearly a half million copies. Alan didn't grow up on a farm, but he was well-versed in agricultural equipment from a young age, as both his grandfather and uncle were farmers. "I helped on the farm during the summer, and I remember my grandfather had an old John Deere plow in back of my grandmother's rock garden for years," Alan recalls. "I used to play with that plow when I was a youngster." If that wasn't enough ag background, Alan's father worked for three major farm equipment manufacturers. He worked for Nichols & Shepard Co., from 1922 until 1929, when Oliver Farm Equipment Co. bought the company. In 1936, he went to work at Deere & Co., where he stayed until he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in 1940. "He was advertising manager, so he did the introductory ads for the Oliver 70 tractor, all the introductory ads for styled John Deere tractors when they came out, and for the John Deere H when it was introduced in 1939. So you might say I had a background," Alan says with a laugh. His father was also editor of the Oliver Shield magazine for Oliver dealers. Plowing deep Alan's favorite piece of agricultural machinery, the walking plow, was the motivation for his publishing career. "I went to an auction one day, and an International Harvester plow was going for little or nothing, so I bought it," he says. "Plows were dirt cheap in the 1960s, so I bought a lot of them for a dollar or two." Today he has more than 30 fully restored plows. "My method is to completely dismantle, clean, paint and reassemble them, doing a really good job," he says. One of the plows in his collection is the John Deere plow that belonged to his grandfather. He also has his grandfather's five-shovel International cultivator, a burr mill and corn sheller. As he started collecting plows, followed by gasoline engines, Alan realized little or no information was available on them. "You had to find the original manual or original catalog, and I soon found out it was that way with everything. That was when I started on my gas engine books." One of his finds was a breadbox full of old Gas Power magazines, giving Alan access to numerous ads for gas engines. Those ads were the foundation of Gasoline Engines, Vol. 1, which he published in 1976. "I started all this almost from the beginning of the real explosion of the hobby," he says. Soon he had produced eight titles in the Gasoline Engines series, Volumes 1-8. His father had an influence on Alan here, too, as the elder King had published three volumes of The Book of Oliver from 1935-1937. "It was revised three times before dad left the company, and it's kind of the bible of Oliver these days," Alan says. This is in excellent condition with minor wear from age and use.
