JD Service Manual

I?ve had the service manual for several years but initially thought it was for a specific tractor which it isn?t. I just started looking at it and it?s from the late 40s maybe early 50s and covers very basic things with detailed explanations of typical gas engines. They even go into specific tools how to sharpen them how to use them, detailed explanations of electricity, generator operation, starter operation, carburetors, how to diagnose, troubleshoot, repair etc.
Now that I look closer at it it?s really pretty interesting. Wonder if anyone else has a manual like this?

i bought it on cd a few years ago, i knew it was generic, but thought if if it was still available it would be a really interesting read.
 
I've got a reprint aftermarket. I find it kinda interesting too. It's a good book for someone wanting to learn about gas engines and electrical components from the 50's era.
 
This was the basic service manual for the two cylinder tractors. Many of them were sold in an era when the buyer and even the mechanic working on it might not have a lot of experience with gas engines. This book was to help these fellows with the basics.

At the first dealership I worked at they had Bills of sale showing guys trading in teams of horse on a new JD tractor. These new owners would know little about a tractor.
 
Hi Ferd - That is certainly one interesting piece of literature. Fortunately, Deere printed some really good literature back in the day. The item you posted is one real good example.
 
Yep, have a couple of them. Some of the spec's in it aren't in the other manuals. Have quite a few of the old manuals and PC's. Sad part is I'm old now and I've never been able to get the kids interested so in a few years they will most likely end up in a dumpster somewhere. Hope not but that's the probability.
