 Here is a page from the manual describing this manual’s use and its relationship to the other WWII manuals in the series:

 Scope.

 

a. The instructions contained in this manual are for the information and guidance of personnel charged with the maintenance and repair of the power train, body and frame of the 1/4-ton 4 x 4 truck. These instructions are supplementary to field and technical manuals prepared for the using arms. This manual does not contain information which is intended primarily for the using arms, since such information is available to ordnance maintenance personnel in 100-series TM's or FM's.

 

b. This manual contains a description of, and procedure for, removal, disassembly, inspection, and repair of the transmission, transfer case, axles, body, and frame.

I also have available TM9-1903A, TM9-1903B, & TM9-1826A.  I am considering doing TM9-1825B if there is any interest in it.

The pictures are very usable and not washed out or too dark like many of the manuals I have seen that have from copy machines.  Laser printed on 28 pound paper.  Copy paper is generally 20 pound and you can feel the difference.  It is bound with GBC plastic combs so that it will lay flat.  If you would like I can, rather than bind with the plastic comb, three hole punch it for your binder.

If you are collecting military manuals or looking for a prop to display at your next show, this is not the manual you want.  If you want some usable information on your Jeep that will lay flat on your bench when you are working on your pride and joy or some period information on how it was done back Sixty Five years ago while you curl up in front of the fire this winter, this is the one you need. .
