Hey Rusty, many of the manufacturers are now putting their manuals on CD, and are trying their best to get completely away from the paper ones. One of the biggest ones I know of is CAT. The CAT service guys around here all carry laptops in their trucks now. It's good in a way because as thick as some of these manuals are getting with all the electronics you can carry everything you need for several machines, and then some, on one disc. Heck for the 50 series Detroit in my service truck the manuals I have for it make a stack over 12" tall, add in the Alllison transmission manuals and it grows to over 2 feet, and I DON'T have all of them yet. Funny thing the computer stuff is the reason there are so many manuals, and so many manuals is one of the reasons for the computer versions, so it's just a vicious circle when it comes to computers invading the industry. The computer stuff can be good til your up to your elbows in hydraulic oil or grease, and then it would tend to be a bit messy. Still if you have a printer, and the disc is formatted correctly, you can print out any of the pages you need. If you mess up a page, simply reprint it, you don't have to buy another manual just because your only/origional copy got too dirty to read......Personally I like paper manuals best, but the CD versions do have their advantages as much as us old school guys want to knock the new technology. Just my .02....

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
