Newer Books:
Brown = Tractor/Grader Parts Book http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Caterpillar-D2-Tractor-Parts-Book-/181419836236?pt=BI_Heavy_Equipment_Parts&hash=item2a3d77034c

Then you have to consider the reproduction books which seem to be either brown or a light grey http://www.ebay.com/itm/Caterpillar-D4-Tractor-Operation-Maintenance-Manual-Guide-OMM-Serial-6U1-7U1-/301150771176?pt=BI_Heavy_Equipment_Parts&hash=item461dfc17e8

I am sure there are others but that is all i can think of right now.

I had a Two Ton parts manual that was a dark Gray and it was a Orginial. It was bigger than most and large print in it. I gave it to friend restoring a Two Ton.

thank you everyone, Erik I had seen various colours but had put it down to creative photo taking or photo shopping , is there a plan to why certain manuals are blue like the cat ten manual ? different publishers or location? by Cat dealer?
