Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the info.

Mine is a 86J45** with a 2B67** engine (1975). The manuals do list 86J being covered and after looking throught the manuals I don't see many discrepancies with my C version.

Fingerprint the pages or send it back?

Thanks,

Scott

Aphonapelma,
Many things are the same on the B and C machines but many things are different too. If you ordered a manual for a C series then i would be asking why they sent you the wrong ones. I own a 951B 69H and a 951C both very rugged reliable machines. I prefer the B series and spent many hours working it. Regards Gordon.

Gordon is right get the right book for your machine as there is lots off differences,not much to the eye as they look the same but lots of things are different like the change over from generators to alternators,fuel injection equipment etc,you will always be in doubt if the information is correct for your model.
AJ

Thank you AJ and Gordon for your input.

I'll get them to send the right one to me or refund me. I found it rather interesting that the service manual I received had "Jensales" on it, I ordered it through www.repairmanual.com. The cost was $60 less than the www.jensales.com website price to boot. It made me wonder if this company is just photocopying the jensales manual reprints and undercutting them. Anyone have any experience with them?

I do actually prefer the original manuals over reprints (the diagrams and pictures aren't blurry). If anyone has a good condition used service manual for my 86J45** 951C for sale please pm me.
