[AJD] Tech Data Question

[Louis]

It looks like the manual on eBay is an early JD service manual.  It
appears to mainly cover the styled B's up to SN 201000.  Where SM2004
covers all styled B's, and is probably updated from the manual on eBay.
I just looked, you can get SM2004 on a CD from Deere for $50.  That is
the way I would go.  You can print out the section that you need for
what you are working on.  Then you don't have to worry about greasy
fingerprints all over your manual.

Subject: [AJD] Tech Data Question


Ebay item 3861583313 is a "Dealer Service Manual" that would include my
'41 B 
ser 109494.  It does not appear to be the same as SM-2004.  Does anyone
on the 
List know what the difference(s) would be between this "Dealer" Service
Manual and 
SM-2004 available from John Deere?

In a similar vein, I have ordered (but not yet received) the Operators
Manual (OM-
R2005) from Deere for $30 + s&h.  However, I have seen several well used

"original"  Operator's Manuals sell on eBay for considerably more than
the reprint 
like I've ordered.   Is the info/data the same in both manuals?  If so I
presume the 
increased cost is a "collector's premium" for the original tech data.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
