Vintage 1970 JOHN DEERE FUNDAMENTALS OF SERVICE - "General" FOS W/ JD Binder
Excellent condition original 1970 John Deere Service manual "Fundamentals of Service - General"  Complete manual with color illustrations in a JD 22 ring binder.  Binder is printed with the manual title and the John Deere logo on both the front and the spine.  The 22 ring binder operate smoothly and crisply.  The cover exhibits minor wear from normal shop use and has some Green paint spots on the front cover and the bottom of some of the pages, apparently from where the shelf it sat on was painted John Deere Green.  The interior pages are bright and clear with no signs of foxing.  The bottom right corner shows some waving from moisture.  A few pages have minor dirt or grease stains as expected on a shop manual that saw regular use and is 45 years old.  Nice vintage piece that would be great for use as a reference guide or as a collectible display piece
This piece is part of a huge accumulation of original vintage Farm Equipment items (primarily paper items like manuals, brochures, letters, advertising, etc) that came from a Family Owned West Michigan Farm Equipment Dealer that had been in Business continually since the 1920's.  A early Licensed Dealer/Distributor for JOHN DEERE and many other farm and hardware companies this business was housed in the same building from it's opening date until the recent retirement of the owner (it had been in the same family for the entire life of the company).  This business housed an AMAZING collection of original farm equipment related items dating from the 1920's up through some current day items,  and it is now our pleasure to be able to offer part of this treasure trove to farmers, equipment owners, and collectors.  We have have literally thousands of pieces that will be listed over the upcoming months.  Primarily paper goods including service manuals, operator manuals, advertising brochures, dealer items (like order books, finance contracts, dealer bulletins, and much more), there are MANY hard to find items that appear to have never before offered on Ebay that will interest collectors.
While we are happy to try to answer questions and to locate specific items, please remember that we are novices with farm equipment items and the more information in your request the more likely that we can provide a timely and accurate answer.  While we are happy to try and fill special requests for specific items, please remember that we are dealing with thousands of pieces that were not organized when we acquired them, so while we will attempt to help, it may require some time to provide an accurate answer as to whether we had a piece or not
