This manual has 212 pages and measures 5 1/2" by 8"
Condition: This item is in good used condition for its age with some surface and corner wear to the covers. There are also pen notations on the inside front cover (some numbers indicating the specific model this manual was used with) and an interesting handwritten note on page 140 "Engine won't take the gas but idles or throws gas out of the carburetor when the accelerator is depressedand kills the engine. Check for obstruction in the exhaust manifold". I think these notes add to the appeal of this piece as they show evidence of use in the field.
This is a rare opportunity for a serious collector.
