Replacement Manual

[Illini986]

I need to get a manual for a tractor I recently bought. The original IH manual is long gone and I'd like to get a good copy. Are the reprints from CaseIH worth looking into? Should I look elsewhere? This'll be for a 786.

The local CIH dealer had all the operators guides but I got the repair manuals from Jensales, BUT ebay many times has someone with an original manual and not a poor copy.

The CIH parts manual, free for downloading at CIH is a perfect way to get exploded parts manuals.

CaseIH reprint manuals have always been high quality glue bound books in my experience. Jensales on the other hand, not so much. Their reprints are cheap finger-bound photocopies of the originals. 

Check with Binder Books. I don't know if they go that new, but their manuals are top-notch reproductions.

Thanks guys. I've seen what Jensales offers and have never been impressed.

I have several manuals from Peaceful Creek, they are of very good quality.

I’m happy with what I got from Peaceful Creek. Not real happy with what I got from ASAP.

If you want an original contact Mike Becker -The Paper Farmer. He is a great guy to deal with and reasonable.

Peaceful Creek. I don't remember which manual it was, brand, service or OM, but it was missing a few pages. I called them and it turns out his original was missing those pages. He went out and bought another original and sent me a new copy. That is excellent customer service!

Also a kudos for Peaceful Creek.   Next best to a original stored inside a file cabinet and never opened.

Ordering from CaseIH will be your cheapest & most direct option, for the most part. All their pricing is figured by a per-pages-scanned rate. So, a 500 pp parts catalog is going to cost more there than say, eBay. Whereas a 30 pp operators manual will be cheaper through CaseIH, as a .pdf, then most anywhere. However, you have the best chance of getting a manual with clear illustrations & print if you look for an original NOS or used one.

Do you have example /site where this can be done? Easy +- p/pg? Might help others ...?

As a rule even thru the stealer $2-400 per (100p+) manual (where asap gets the idea)

Can do!

Here's a link to the Case IH Document Management Center. Unless you are looking for something new, just use the sidebar search on the left.

There's also a separate search page for NH & Case Construction.
