Randy, A little slow to load up but it looks really good ! Theres a lot to be learned from WO documents like these owners manuals. Especially when one can compare it to another issue. For example I'll reference a change between this 1961 and the 1964 edition. When you scroll down to page 6 you can find the given compression ratio. Here it is listed as 6.9 to one. The 1964 CJ-3B owners manual will state a compression ratio of 7.4 to one as standard. These may seem like small facts but are truely important changes. This change alone will yield an increase of about 3 hp. Noted changes will also correspond with other WO publications. Documented facts like this assists us when we narrow down changes to exact timelines. |

my 3B is slightly older than me - without the manual I wouldnt know about LH. vs. RH. wheel nuts and things others may take for granted ... I also have a '57 manual (printed copy only) - SOM 1010 2nd edition , as you said OLDTIME they are an excellent reference document the '57 manual shows the single big speedometer guage which I associate with the start of the 12v 3B - I believe 6v was made an option at the start of 12v production - yet the manual only speaks of 6v the little server hosting the manual above has been pushing 100G of data over a wireless connection since friday - it should complete later tonight , performance might improve slightly after than ... |

Some of the pages were cut off... anyone else have that problem? For example, the bottom half of the specifications page was missing. |

Jeep-less at the moment. Still somewhat involved with a '54 475-4WD pickup, however. | |

your probably not alone, it was built on mac with version 1.3 or 1.4 of adobe which is about 10 years old ... seeing your post I installed several older versions which allowed me to see a few pages obsured in later releases but none were perfect ... will see if there is a free utility I can use to somehow upgrade it if thats possible ... |

I saved it as the Adobe Acrobat 8.0. It did not help. Do you have the orginal? If so I would be interested in rescanning it and posting it. Send me an email if you do. info@haflatfenders.com |

This is great; thanks for posting it. I had the same problem as Andy and P8106jr though with cut off pages (16 of the 46 pages didn't fully download). Are the missing pages available anywhere? Thanks!!! Melanie |
