[AJD] DB1234 or DB1293 Parts Catalog CD

[Dean VP]

Karl:

You may need to add more files than just the INDEX.pdf. I did mine so long
ago I don't remember the details but, as I recall, I had some trouble until
I copied all the files except for the outdated Adobe Acrobat Reader on the
CD.  Not sure about that anymore. It was more than a day ago so my
recollection may not be worth the powder to blow it up. :-) 

Anyway I copied all the files off the CD except for the outdated Adobe
Reader.  I know it works that way.  

JD didn't sell, as I recall, an all encompassing CD that had all the Vintage
Tractor SM's on it, but they did in the Garden Tractor arena. I believe it
took 6 CD's. An L & G original JD SM set was on eBay recently, may still be.


Now they burn a custom CD for whatever you want, OM's, SM's and PC's on to a
CD per your order. Gets over $100 real quick. The least expensive manual you
can buy from JD now on paper or CD is $30 each. Hopefully that enormous
profit will help convince JD to provide the service for awhile. 

I'm sure glad I bought the DB CD's when I did. I know my rear end puckered
when I had to shell out the $75 each but in retrospect it was probably one
of my best purchases related to this rusty iron disease. The original CD's
are getting so expensive on eBay that I am tempted to just work with the
copies I have on my hard disk and back-up CD's!  And I can resist everything
but temptation!  :-)

Ah, that's what I needed to know.  I copied the PDFs onto my hard disk, but 
need to find and copy the index.

Incidentally, I printed out the parts catalog for BO/BR yesterday using 
Acrobat Reader 6.0 and was extremely pleased with the quality of the 
printing.

You can actually see the smoothing algorithms at work when you expand or 
shrink the displayed document.  As you change magnification, the graphics 
come up full of jaggies and warts, and then the smoothing kicks in and the 
picture or text becomes very clear.  There's also a 'shapshot' feature, 
which I suspect would be useful for emailing a drawing (or a page from the 
parts catalog) to a friend.  Not that anyone would dream of infringing on JD

copyrights by doing so...

I take it that JD never got around to putting their service manuals on CD, 
but that you can order an individual manual on CD directly from Deere?  I'd 
like to have that SM 2004 that was discussed earlier this week.  I've 
suddenly developed an interest in Bs, and the I&T manual covering the A, B, 
G and H is pretty slim.  The beauty of having it on CD is that you can print

out just the pages you need, and if they get dirty, you haven't damaged an 
expensive manual.
