There is a charge for the service. After your order is placed they print the catalog. They take the order at that number. It has been awhile since I ordered anything but I believe the cost is about $50 or $60. There are several printings of the same catalog so they usually ask for your serial number. - Wally

Hi Wally, thanks for that information, I wasn't aware Cat. offered that copying service, though when I first started the thread about creating a Tech. Sheet "Library" my aim was, and still is, to find a safe and easily accessed place within the ACMOC Forum where the smaller and more topic specific Cat. technical sheet scans kindly uploaded by some of our Technical Experts such as "Edb" and "Old Magnet" from time to time, to name just two generous individuals, could be stored and at a later date be uploaded quickly free of charge 24/7 by fellow ACMOC members.

I certainly wasn't thinking of scanning complete Part Number books, or even Operator Manuals because those books are generally available at reasonable cost from Ebay, or fellow ACMOC members or Gensales reprints, or as we have just discovered thanks to your post, from Cat. themselves, and often run into hundreds of pages which would be a huge job scanning it all. My thread was aimed simply at saving the smaller Tech. Sheets that often discussed a single topic, such as measuring liner protrusion, or how to fabricate the special tamping tool for installing new seals into fuel pumps, or exhaust smoke analysis, to name just a few.

The ACMOC BOD were going to discuss this idea at their last meeting a few weeks ago and I look forward to hearing what the outcome was, because I believe there are others here who share my very real concern that we will lose so much valuable stored technical information and supporting hard earned expertise from our senior members if we do not move quickly, because there are 2 types of folks on this Forum as you know Wally, those who talk about how a repair could be made to a old Cat. to get her fixed and running again, and those who have successfully done it over their lifetime for a living, and I think you and I will agree on whose opinion we would put our faith, and hard earned money.
All the best
Mike

Can anyone tell me which manual is the Ten tractor repairmen's reference book? It's not clear to me what the "type" column is and my dealer is struggling to find it. See quote below.

Aside from the ten grouping on the first page, there is also a wide manual second to the bottom on the last page. Interesting.

"Through Cat’s current media source, I found parts and operation manuals, but the only Servicemen’s Reference that I can find is for the Twenty model. There are two parts books available, but the serial numbers don’t match what this Legendary pdf shows. I see UE004863 for B0K0101-003, and SL1880 for PT-1 and up. The PDF shows 4863 as being for PT-1 to PT-4929. The OMM is $32, the parts books are $64 each."
