[AT] The value of tractor manuals

[Mike Sloane]

My operation is similar. What I do is NOT use are the sheet protectors 
on the "shop" edition purposely. That way I can mark it up - check marks 
as I go along, question marks and underline for items I am missing or 
need replacement, highlighter for stuff that needs attention or is 
particularly important, notes for future reference, and so on. I keep 
the "original" copy clean in another marked binder in a file cabinet. If 
a page gets too dirty, torn, or coffee stained, I run another off on the 
printer or copier. When I am done with the project, I may transfer some 
of the notes to pages in the back of the "archive" binder, if I feel 
they are important for future use (the NAPA number for an IH filter, for 
instance), and dispose of the soiled/marked pages. Printer paper is 
cheap. :-)

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always 
so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. -Bertrand
