Local mobile mechanic passed away and his kids had a garage sale. In making a deal on a portable press, several storage totes of old manuals was worked into the deal. He couldn't bring himself to throw out the books and I was happy to get service and parts books for TD15, a long line of Deere dozers, old cat, Detroit engines.

But I've got a few totes of books I don't want.

Deere440-c skidder, Fiat-allis HD6, Cat IT12, 988 wheel loader, 623b scraper, Deere 790/792 excavator....and that's just on top of ONE storage tote.

I'm not into trying to sell em on eBay. Not wanting to sell them in general. I'd rather give them away. In this day and age where a few clicks on the internet can download most anything, should I just spread them out and snap some pictures for someone to claim a few or admit that recycling is the best solution?

If I paid the shipping can I have the 440c skidder books? Any other forestry equipment books?

Yes the I've called three people who "used to" have 440 skidders. PM me an address and I'll send it to you. I'll put an envelope in the box and if you are happy send the postage.....if not send me your disappointment.

There's road graders Gailion and I think Cat. Kinda short on other forestry stuff.

One shipment of books out. The OTC 4121A Jack unit leaked BADLY. Ordered a new set of seals ($100~). Guess it really needed it.

Speaking of... Thank you. After sorting through I have one that can go back up for grabs. If anyone needs a 690B book let me know. The friend of mine who had one told me he sold it about a month ago and I have no use for it

Do you happen to have a book for a FR15V front end loader?

CAT 3204 - repair or parts? Shoot me a price.

I'd be curious what Mack truck books you have.

Hi , do you have any old Cat manuals for D7E’s 48A or D8H 46A … I have the first edition for the D7E but it doesn’t include the high horse parts
Thanks

There's a big stack of D8 books but I'm going to hang onto them because one of the machines lives nextdoor. If it ever comes up for sale (probably stay tied up in that estate for a while) I can drive it home. Sorry

At this point there's no dozer books I want to part with.

Hi do you maybe have a service manual for a old CAT 922B wheel loader? I am not in the USA so shipping might be a problem.
