The B Service manual appears to be JD Pub # SM2004 and appears to be in really good condition.. There are a few different versions (Publication dates) of this manual as to how far it goes back for applicability to certain serial numbers. Might want to check some pub dates and Ser # application. IIRC the usual JD B Service Manual goes back to Ser # 96,000 which is the beginning of the 1941 model year. I’m 1600 miles away from my originals so I’m working from memory which at my age is very dangerous..<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>Dean VP<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>Apache Junction, AZ<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='color:windowtext'> AT <at-bounces@lists.antique-tractor.com> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Cecil Bearden<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, January 9, 2022 9:25 PM<br><b>To:</b> at@lists.antique-tractor.com<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [AT] Deere Service Binder.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p>I think I posted the pic of the front of the binder.

Look at the prices being asked for and offer them for 80% of the lowest asking price, unless that price is ridiculous. Also compare the quality of the manuals if possible by looking at any pictures.

I am going to put them on Ebay if no one here has an interest in it. I really don't know what to ask for it. It is in good condition for a 1947 book. It was in the old Gehl/Owatonna dealership parts and manuals I bought. Also have some Bush Hog service and parts manuals.
