I'm going to order the M37 manuals CD and was wondering if anyone has dealt with these folks. What part of the country are they located?

Thanks!
Tim

I have the disk and it is good has lots on it. You will need Adobe Acrobat reader to make it work. I have to use "explore disk "to make it run. It will not auto run on my computer but that may just be on mine. You can print out any sheets you need to take to the garage for work real handy.
Get them greasey or torn just print out another!!
Only down side for me is you can't just flip through the pages like a book. You have to scroll or you can click on a chapter and then scroll.

rixm37,

Thanks! Does the disk has the complete M37 library on it?

All the standard M37 manuals are on it, there are some specialty manuals that aren't included such as some accessory items. Everything is there that you will need as far as operation, maintenance, & rebuilding of a standard M37. It is the best source of material out there for the money, bar none.

I haven't come across any manual that I need that isn't in there. I has both the 50s manuals and the 60s/70s manuals. And then it has a manual for the G502 3/4ton WC, and a manual covering the design changes from the WC51/52 to the G741 M37 series.

Just received the CD today but haven't had chance to look at it.

Glad I bought the CD. However, has anyone had a problem printing? I can print a page but I won't let me print the entire document.

If it's a .pdf it's the settings on your computer. I don't remember how to change it though, I don't use M$.

You had better buy several reams of paper and have an extra ink cartridge if you plan on printing the whole thing!

I want to try out the new laser printer.

Even with a laser printer, you're going to be printing for a very long time.

If you do decide to try printing various manuals, buy the pre-punched paper (Staples, Office Depot, et al will have it). Then, make sure it's loaded with the holes on the side where you want them and print all the odd-numbered pages first. Once you've done that, flip the stack of printed pages over with the holes on the opposite side and print only the even-numbered pages. You'll use just as much toner, but only half the paper and your paper manuals will look "factory made."

It is a drawback not to have the whole manual in paper to flip through. If you need or want more than a few paragraphs at once, I would suggest you spring for the manuals you really use allot like the 8030 You can find them sometimes on epay but Portrayal Press is hands down the best.

I have a binder and just print out a section at a time as I need it for reference as I rebuild/remove/repair. It often ends up just being a couple of random pages that have a good diagram and the paragraph that details the actual procedure...

I just print it on hole-punched paper and stick it in a 3-ring binder.
