Title: MCI MC9 Manual
Post by: Kyleayala on December 31, 2020, 04:44:46 AM
Just curious on if anyone out there has a clean PDF copy of the service manual for the MC9?

I have the one downloaded from Busses101, but it's not clean enough to print and put into a binder since most pages were scanned together. 

Just curious on if anyone out there would happen to have a cleaner copy they could share?

Thanks!

Hey,

Nice to see another busnut wanting a better copy than the run of the mill free ones. Maybe I'm overly particular but the photocopied ones don't cut it for me, particularly the images are sometimes worthless. I'm actively searching for a very clean original MC-8 maintenance manual. They are around but pretty spendy.
This manual is available in a loose leaf three ring binder, making scanning easy. I'm planning on a make a high quality digital scan then pass through OCR so the entire manual is searchable. Also indexing the main chapters make for fast access to needed sections.

Making a copy of select pages of interest for a particular repair are super easy and the digital copy remains pristine.

Don, I'm interested in the same thing for the 103DL3 ('96). The free ones have the schematics cut off and are all but unusable. I thought after covid I'd visit MCI in Louisville and see if I could get one on CD with full pages.

I have a great physical copy of the parts manual for the MC9 that I plan on scanning and sharing with anyone who needs it.

Hoping for the same situation for the maintenance manual.

The copy I have is "ok", it does the job. But I would rather find a good PDF to print for myself.

I have a PDF of MC-9 crusader two Maintenance Manual dated 1989 if that helps. Also an Operators Manual. I have no idea if this is what you are looking for or if it helps for later models.
