You can get a good quality re-print from Midland Press, http://www.midlandcorp.com/Sales%20Inquiries%20and%20Product%20Demonstrations.htm or check e-bay at the link posted beloe. I agree with Bob, an original is always a god find, as the print quality is the best, Midlands product is very good and J.....sle's is well... they don't go out of the way to tell you about the lack of print quality, but still get fair $$ for what they sell, and although I sent a detailed inquiry to this site, YT, regarding the print quality issue, (as I believe that is what YT sells here), I recieved no response about it. I can't see wasting money on poorly reproduced manuals, as the photos and schematics are important, and must be clearly reproduced. I find that purchasing a good quality original or reproduction is money well spent. I also have found that having a copy machine is also money well spent, be it a 2nd hand that is in good order or, even these new all in one printers, like HP offers, the HP 6110 was like $350, but has enlarge/reduce on the copier function, you can make copies out of your manuals, of specific pages you need, take them into the shop and if they get trashed so what, you can always make a good copy out of a clean manual and your manuals will stay clean, bindings might wear some from excessive copying. I also find that the self serving attitude of YT's site administration ( based on the CENSORSHIP of certain vendors in the forums ) is highy disappointing and restrictive when trying to help someone out here. It's actually wrong and I think the people who decided to implement censoring certain vendors by name in the forums, have done so for their own benefit. I see nothing wrong with being able to recommend "a" or any vendor here, be it YT or someone else, to know that the forum is biased towards it's own brokerage of parts and frowns on the rest of the vendors out there is sad to say the least. It's fine to support the home team, but restricting people from sharing information about other vendors on these forums is wrong and the administrators of this site should be reprimanded for doing so, if the intent of these forums is to help tractor enthusiasts, collectors, restorers etc. it contradicts their intent, and humorously enough they have censored out a vendor they sell !
