I was wondering if anyone had a scanned copy of a manual of anything related to an A-2? I see them online from $40 on up to $90 and have the code MT-20B and are dated around 1936. I'm looking for something from 1932, but I'm guessing that the 300-page MT-20B was maybe the definitive parts manual for these trucks as I've seen several copies of it online (originals and copies.) I'm also on the lookout for any repair manuals/workshop manuals for the A2.

I'm willing to scan and make copies or a pdf as well as I do have a scanner.

After this long, I would supposed this information is public domain, but not for sure. Does anyone have any ideas on the legalities of this? I don't want to be causing trouble and I need some information. Thanks!

I think that making a copy for yourself would not be a real issue, however if you were looking to Sell them, That would have to be something that should be run by the legal department.

Just my thoughts

Nope - not looking to sell - simply making it available for free to anyone that needs it. About 7 years ago I scanned in the documentation for the AMF McCulloch-powered moped and linked to it from another forum. To this day, I still get people writing me thank you notes after they downloaded the information. That's kind of my point - to have a free depository of this information so as to help as many people as possible who need it.

Erin, I do not see a problem with that. You see in the "Library" area several folks who have done that, We would welcome your putting a link to your area and you could talk to Jim about "copying" it to one of his areas. Look forward to seeing more!

Contact the people at the Wisconsin Historical Society and if they have got a copy of the manual they will photocopy it and send it to you, a small fee applies for this service.

They are really nice to deal with and I have had a few things copied and sent to me here in Australia.

Trevor - this is a great idea. I got in touch with the Waukesha Engine Historical Society requesting mechanic-related information for the Waukesha XAH engine. Today in the mail I received 2 plastic spine bound copies of the Waukesha parts list for model XAH and then a repair manual for the XAHU power unit (which for all intents and purposes was the same thing.) I breezed through it and it's exactly what I needed. They sent me a nice letter that says they accept donations so I plan on sending them a nice donation. I will reference the information at wisconsinhistory.org and see if they can help me. Thanks for the suggestion!

BTW: I watched the video of you driving your SL-34 (is that the right number?) on the roads of Australia. I went nuts trying to figure out what the name of the song was. I finally enlisted the help of a music-ID service and hummed the song. It said it was Marty Robbins' Devil Woman and indeed I had been hearing the voice in my head of Merle Haggard who did a Marty Robbin' impression of the song. LOL!

Now don't be shy in forwarding a copy of the Waukesha engine book as we are always keen for more knowledge.

Yes it is a SL-34, so far we have only located 4 surviving worldwide.
