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?

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
