Ok. I would like to know if we have any links to sites, or online-safe places to post old manuals so others will have it available to them?
Last month, I bought a Pettibone 125, model 858, and have had no luck on finding a manual or parts book for it. I did finding something close. I searched for weeks, diligently online, following every lead, every recommendations, every site that pops up, and came up empty handed. I did, however find something close to it, which was a few models off but looked the same as what I have.
I now have a hard-to-find manual for a Pettibone Speedall 250D. I took it to Staples, so, I now have a full copy, and also I got it in PDF form for further distribution. These older books/manuals are not in print, and have not been sold for many years. To my knowledge and Staples as well, these books are not a copy write issue for several reasons. They are safe to copy and place on PDF at minimal cost.
Sadly, this forum does not allow me to load it because the 300+ pages makes the file too big to attach it on here.
Please drop the link of where to post them so folks can post our older, or out of print, manuals for others to benefit. I know a lot of you have some.
Just offering a solution to a larger problem in finding rare manuals.
