I just got a 1978 Clark Michigan 45b loader and I'm not having any luck finding Manuel's for it any ideas?

Clark Michigan was bought out by Volvo/Michigan/Euclid and is now part of Volvo Contruction Equipment- have you asked a dealer yet for ideas?

If that doesn't pan out, have you tried some of the other vintage construction equipment manual suppliers such as Binder Books, Big Dogs Manuals, Manuals.US?

There is a store on Epay that seems to have a lot of Clark Michigan manuals- may be worth contacting the store owner:

You might also see if anyone in the YT discussion forum for crawlers/backhoes/loaders knows of a source- they get quite a few questions on older, more obscure pieces of equipment and have specific discussions on Clark Michigan loaders.
(1) JD Straight 450 crawler dozer with manual outside blade; (2) JD 2010 diesel crawler loaders; (1) JD 2010 diesel dozer with hydraulic 6-way blade; (2) Model 50 backhoe attachments, misc. other construction equipment

Thanks four your input. I will check those out.I did find a Manuel at gen sales that covers the trans,brakes and axles.I hopped to find the operators Manuel I want to be sure I'm shifting the trans properly.A wireing diagram would be nice to.
