Thanks for the reply Gerry!

Good to know that someone has these manuals, and someone worked on scanning them. I'm sorry to hear that you can't do that anymore. If the last update to the John Deere category was 3 years ago, and the manuals are sitting in the Internet Archive warehouse for nearly 3 years that's sad.

Also thanks for offering the parts you scanned, however I hope I will able to get hold of the entire 400 and so pages scanned. I never repaired a John Deere tractor, and I don't want to trow away an engine or mess up the clutch, transmission or even the hydraulic system. I will do a complete repair on mine as soon as have any documentation.

I'd like to know if there's a way to contact the guys at archive.org or talk to someone who scans books and manuals. That would be great if a guy notices this topic. The number of service/repair/technical manuals on the site is very little. I know that they don't have the top priority, but would be nice if more of them get uploaded to the archive.

If I'd live in the US I would visit the guys, the only downside is that I'm from the EU. Also I highly doubt that the manuals I'm looking for are copyrighted. I haven't seen a (c) or (r) logo on any of these old stuff.

Thanks for checking the topic again.
Here's my email address just in case someone needs it: szabo.tihamer(at)yahoo.com

Also I will contact you Gerry as soon as possible!

Have a nice day!

Tihamér,

I will put up those partial scans and I do intend to scan more manuals. Since I moved to Indiana, I have found some at barn sales so I will be scanning those in. I think that these technical manuals are an important part of history which has been neglected. Yes nearly all of them prior to 1989 were never copyrighted nor did the ones that were have their copyrights renewed. This includes product assembly manuals, warranty cards, etc. If I can find that manual I will contact you.

Gerry

Ok, I contacted you via the email address you mentioned, but you were faster and I didn't saw that you replied to the topic. I'm sorry about that, so take my apologies.

Thanks again for everything! I hope someone at the archive team will listen, and will notice this conversation.

Best regards,
Tihamér
