I've got hundreds of old tractor brochures and manuals. FE: JD, AC, MM, MH, MF, Huber, Case, R&S, Rumley Oil Pull, maybe even a Hoyt Claggwell. Plus misc. machinery as well as Frick sawmill, Farquhar sawmill. All are original and some perfect. My grand dad was a tractor dealer, so that helped. I just need someone to buy lock stock and barrel.

If you decide to split up, I'd be interested in the Case stuff.

You might try over on Yesterdays Tractors.

Thanks. I took a look there already. Just keeping some options open. A lot of this stuff is turn of the century.

Could use more modern stuff, 30 and 70 series era stuff.

But old would be ok, I've long harbored a want for traction engine and threshing machine.

If decided to part out, I'd buy a service & parts manual for a Case 831 from you.

Nothing that new. Early 50's is newest.

Ray,
We have several historical societies here on the island, surely there must be something like that in your area or not too far away that would be interested in such manuals?
These societies usually work on volunteer labor but might have a budget for purchases.
Oh and thanks for not throwing them in the recycle bin! Saving this info is well worth the trouble.
