Made up my own shop manual.
Got tired of getting out the big books. Now everything is easy to find and not worried about getting the originals greasy. Made the copies and laminated the cover at work. The binding and back plastic cover cost $4.08 I think it will be worth the trouble.

I have a half room full of service manuals. I have no idea how many thousands of dollars I have in them. Manuals for all types of equipment, engines, transmissions, cars, trucks, tractors..... list goes on and on.
When I had my shop, we used them all the time of coarse. The guys were allowed to use them, and take them out into the shop.... with one rule. They were NOT to touch them with greasy fingers!! They were to wipe off their hands (not wash them, just wipe them off) and turn the pages only on the edge. Now, that may sound like a no-brainer, but that's what it took. All those manuals are still in fantastic shape, except for a couple I loaned out. (Which I no longer will do.) I did however, have a flood in the shop near the end of the time I was in that building, that did get several of the manuals on the lowest shelf wet. Most of them dried out, but have a lot of mold on the pages, and have a few that are stuck together I recently found out. I may have to replace a few.... but that's to be expected, when the unexpected happens. I never would have thought my office would flood.... but it had about 3"-4" of water in it. Point is.... you can keep a manual in good shape if you try. You didn't have to copy and make a whole new one. All you needed to do was take care of the original one. Don't leave it lying around the garage, and use clean hands to turn the pages. To each his own I guess.

I think that is a great idea. When I have to work on our combine or tractors I print out the section that has the info on what ever I am working on. I also go online and print out the parts list for the same area. This helps when getting into something that I am not familiar with. I put these printouts in a binder for later reference when I am done. Due to cost I do not have printed copies of the service manuals for our Axial Flow Combine or Magnum series tractors but I do have PDF copies in my computer. I have printed copies of service manuals for all of our older IH tractors as well as PDF copies on the computer. To save my manuals I still will do printouts when I am working on something. This is how I do things and it works for me. I do not have a repair business but as a farmer doing his own repairs I learned a long time ago that working on something with out a repair manual is just asking for trouble. When ever I buy a new piece of equipment or a vehicle that I will have to later work on or repair I buy service manuals and operators manuals if needed.
Later Tom

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
