It is a dark dank day here, and a break from office duty is in order. I had a very generous member from Glenn, CA offer up part of his collection of manuals.
Time to fire up the shop heater, the radio and slap on a pair of latex gloves.
Its like ordering a bowl of chow mein, the old saying is the best stuff is at the bottom!
Perhaps Santa will be good to me. JM

Anything D2 4U and 5U series

Thank you for sharing!

Well howdy Crawler Addict, You should cruise our ACMOC library, We have the D311 Servicemen's Reference Book (service manual) and several 933 manuals, pretty much all the manuals for the No. 44 hydraulic control and everything including sales brochures for the D2. All we are lacking for the D2 is the service manual which I just received today! I will scan it soon and it will be in the library.

CrawlerAddict: I think I found everything you asked for.
Sad part is so many tattered/soiled books they went into the burn barrel. Saved 2/3 of them I’m guessing.
A lot of work, but dividends if someone might need a specific book. JM

Seiscat, thank you for the reply. The ACMOC technical library is a gold mine of information and I am grateful to those who have contributed. 
For me though I prefer to have originals for everything I own. There's something nice about flipping through the musty pages of an old manual.
