That makes it better.  A lot of the ones I saw on eBay were paperback bound.

I have the protective hard case the manual slides into you don't see many of those,mine was given to me by Davenport in 1999 still looks new lol always kept in the house not it the shop I would faint if someone got grease on it

I saw an older version with a 6SE266 part number on it.  Also if anyone has the number for the military version, I might be able to get that one.

iirc....  6SE266... is the last edition, after which supplements were still being added up until 1996, i do not know the final supplement #.... what i do know is i'll never need the 4 stroke data....I would go with Caterpillar were I in the 4 stroke mood ...

i still have a few of these around too ....tho this one is not a picture of mine ...

I thought they were all 6SE266 last revision in mine is 03/1998 but it was in the manual

you are probably right... i am in the bus and my book is in the house...

Edit:  they are all 6SE266.... mine is 1987... with  a tiny amount of Series 60 reference, and minimal DDEC and DDECII

PS. mung i have never seen one that was not in a ring binder.

1966 military version is 18SE51 and not in a binder.

While searching for the military version I found this.  It is kind of interesting.

The job lists in that document are pretty cool as is the training section.  I would love to get my hands on a copy of the slides they used.

I have one of these original Field Data manuals too.

If I can be of help, let me know.

oops...

so i was able to finally find the time to scan my Field Service Data Handbook.
I did a tiny bit of editing, as in changed the page color to a grey scale..because it was too bright and aged/yellowed as it was...
I had to do each page separately and a few pages are out of order...I left those as is.
So...would anyone be interested in a donation type offer ?
the scanner cost a few bucks.
here is a page.
Using the Windows 10 photo viewer, it worked best to center each page vs. orienting like a "copier" because enlarging them offset to "off view" if that makes any sense... a guru I am not.
Any interest ?

ps. before you decide..i would download the picture and see if it is compatible to your viewer and satisfactory in any other regards...

I don't know...  I have two of the original small field service binders ending in the eighties.  When I bought them I was promised lifetime updates mailed to my house.  That didn't last long.  After a couple of years I remembered to ask the DDA parts guide what happened to my updates, and I was handed a 1/4" thick pile up of updates.  That was okay, but in order to get the updates to fit they wanted me to throw out a bunch of old stuff that I wanted to keep.  So the updates​ are on the side.  I lost interest after DDA broke their promise on sending me lifetime updates.
