Hey any of you guys that need manuals go see Brian in the classifieds, I just bought 3, 5 ton manuals from him delivered for less then what Portrayal wants for just one of them. Mine are low/mid 70's dated w/Change 1,2 & 3., in excellent condition ( one was NOS).

Thanks, Bill. Just a note that I'm running low on some books. Ads have been revised with new quantities.

I've got 80 some and they all fit in one garage.
Mostly 1/35 scale.
And the "toys-r-us" jingle doesn't work on model half-tracks, just so's ya know.

Cdub

went down to the Armory today to talk with the Mechanics about the M939's and
the first thing he went to grab for was the TM..........

Glad I ordered mine yesterday.

Thanks Brian for all the good advice.

I'm sure the TM with be of great importance.

seya,

C'dub

You know there are more than one, right? The maintenance ones (-20, -34)are very informative as well, along with separate manuals for the engine, transmissions etc.

No doubt about it, Brian has some good prices on the manuals that he has. Plus great service!

Another good source with reasonable prices (IMO) is MILMAN at ebay. Check out his store at: stores.ebay.com/Manuals-and-Stuff
As an example, he has SB 11-131 (vehicular radio sets/installation) for the VRC-12 family, etc. for $25. This is one that we can't download from LOGSA. Plus his shipping charges are reasonable, unlike some ebay sellers.

Yes, C'dub the military (contrary to some peoples opinion) does have its strengths - having a systematic approach to things is one of them. Data plates will show TMs and other reference numbers, just as TMs will show related TMs, etc.

Speaking of those manuals for the M923 - they are all available in .pdf for free download at:
www.logsa.army.mil. enter 9-2320-272 in the manual number (without the TM) and you will get the list for the TMs, MWO, LO, etc. While I like the hard copies, the price on the ETMs is great if they are available for public release.

What other county would give us all this good information for free?

USA! USA! USA!

C'dub:

The .pdf manuals are at the Army LOGSA site. Go to: https://www.logsa.army.mil/etms/inde...83268FAF1BDC34

Then enter: 9-2320-272 in the field for Pub Number. That will list all the LO, MWO, TM, TB for that truck.

Look in the column marked DIS Code. Anything with an "A" is approved for public release. Any other letter you won't be able to download. I just did a check and found 18 documents. All but 3 were approved for public release and ready to download. The stuff that you can't download deals with add on armor and things like that.

At the present time there aren't any copies of this stuff in the SS Technical Manual area. I will download it at home with my DSL connection and make it available to them if they want to add it - assuming they have server space.

Where are you located in NJ? Do you belong to a MV club?

Enjoy!

Thanks for the link to the site. I will check them out for sure because when
I went to the SS Technical Manual area I hadn't seen any for the M939's.

I live in New Milford, New Jersey near Paramus (not to be confused with West Milford).

I'm soon to be looking for a M939 some time in the near future.

seya,

Thank You,
