Thanks, James.
If the manuals are in good enough condition for good scans, I'd be happy to scan these and share them with those members who might need them. I personally prefer a good PDF over a printed manual... it's easier to search for something specific not as nearly as prone to grease smudges.
For those who are interested, I have a very clear scanned and searchable copy of the "Workshop Manual" for the MD11C, MD11D, MD17C, and MD17D in PDF format. I probably have the best manuals you'll find for the Perkins engine too. If anyone needs these manuals, I'd be happy to share them also. Let me know and I can put them online on with a login access at

Thanks again for sharing, James.
