I have grown weary of ebay sellers trying to get ridiculous amounts of money from those needing a copy of the Hardinge HLV-H Operator Manual. Even if you purchase a CD from Hardinge, it is not very good quality and applies to the later machines.
What I have done is to take an excellent, original manual, from the early 60's, cut it apart and scanned it. The pdf is superior to anything else I have seen. I spent about 5 hours getting this thing just right. It still does not do the great B&W glossy pictures in the original manual justice though; but it is the best I can do.
I have uploaded it in 3 parts over at the Yahoo user group for Hardinge lathes. You will have to join, but that should not be too great a burden. All 3 parts combine for about 11mb. Yahoo groups limit a file upload to 5mb, so I had to split the manual up.
Here's a link to the user group. Look in the "files" section.

If someone wants to host the 11mb pdf, let me know. I will not send this file out to anyone, unless it is for the sole purpose of hosting it.
