I am restoring a JD 1939 Model L Tractor, I purchased a JD service manual from my local dealer. It was totally useless, it didn't even give valve clearance specs. Can anyone tell me which manual is the best.

There's an add in Green magazine for reprints of the original L/LA techical manual from Jack Kreeger. This is a very informative manual. It covers the early Hercules as well as John Deere engines and also includes service bulletins parts lists etc. I forget what I paid, but I think it was only around $25.00 it's worth every penny.

Wes,

I have/or could have run into the same scenario. However, I hooked-up with a pretty nice old JD mechanic and their shop has a lot of the older manuals, so I previewed them...this really helped me to discern the one's for my needs and the others that were just ink and paper [grease too].

good luck, tom
