I have recently published a textbook with Pearson Education called Heavy Duty Equipment Technology: A Systems Approach. It is a geared towards College level students that are enrolled in Heavy Equipment Technician programs but would also make a great reference book for anyone owning or working on a piece of Heavy Equipment.
It goes through all systems found on a piece of Heavy Equipment and takes the reader from the basics to higher levels of system fundamentals. It is roughly 700 pages long and includes features like Tech Tips, Case Studies, Shop Activities, Chapter reviews and Progress Checks.
There's plenty of great illustrations from Cat, Deere and other manufacturers.
It's written from the perspective of my 8 years as a College professor and 20 plus years as a Technician.
Here's a link for more information and where it can be purchased. Heavy Duty Equipment Technology: A Systems Approach-

Let me know if you have any questions and or if you're interested in purchasing one. If I get a lot of requests I'll ask my publisher if I can get a better price for Forum members.
Thanks, Scott Heard
