[Bill Kycia]

 There are a bunch of Jensales parts and repair manuals on ebay.  Has anyone bought any of them?  Are they of good quality and good dissciptions of repair.Thanks  Bill in  CT.

Hi Bill , Going by the first Caterpillar D4 manual I bought from Jensales , I would not touch them. Photo , and ilistrations are poor quality .
I would keep watching Ebay for original manuals .

Agreed. Jenn Sales pretty grainy on the photos.
Ebay usually throws up most of what you could possibly want, given time. Or try Zimmerman's for better photocopies. Or Floyd County Museum.

I have even purchased perfect originals from the latter.

You will definitely be disappointed with Jensales manuals. Every one that I have seen was poor quality,, you can barely make out details in the pictures. Don't waste your money!!!

I hated to say anything, but seeing how everybody else has the same opinion I do, well... I suppose if you are desperate they are OK, but. To me they resemble copies of copies that came from some old copies.

Well, I guess I am on the other side of the ball on this one.  The manuals I got with my AD were Jensales for both repair and parts and I used them for fixing what the crawler needed without a problem. I don't have them right here to recheck but I remember them having decent pic's. I just bought a manual from Jensales for the injector pump on the AD since the repair manual doesn't get into it's disassemble and I was happy just to find a manual for this old pump. There are not to many pictures but what is there is clear.  I would say it was a nice reprint. It did  come with a guarantee for my money back if not satisfied. It is nice to have the original but a Good copy should work.

Well, I guess I am on the other side of the ball on this one. I got Jensales manuals with my AD when I bought it and they seemed fine for helping me fix it up. I don't have them here with me but as I remember they were pretty clear and I was impressed to have manuals with it. I just ordered a manual for the injector pump on my AD from Jensales  since the repair manual didn't get into disassemble of the pump itself. I was happy to find a manual for this old pump and although there are few pic's they are clear and I would say it is a good copy. It did come with a money back guarantee if I was not satisfied.  Original manuals are nice but so far I have had luck with these nanuals.

Mathew , The forum software is very touchy  on what it thinks is SPAM . I copy and pasted your reply ,So I will see if my reply gets put in limbo .

I guess it depends on the quality of the original they copy from. I am not prepared to risk it after the two manuals I got from them were so poor.
