On-line service manuals

SteveGr · Aug 10, 2012

I have never heard of on-line service manuals for tractors and was wondering if there was anything out there. I know they have it for cars and trucks and some engines but I have never seen or heard of for tractors. I guess what I am looking for is an online IT manual that would even cover the new tractors. If not maybe someone should start one. Just wondering.

My manual says "copyright".Cheaper to buy it.

Good question for a lawyer. I've often wondered about that myself, and even considered building a site for such a thing.

I'm all for people making money - but for antique tractor manuals, seems the world would be a better place to capitalize on the power of the internet and have it all readily accessible in the public domain.

I imagine it's the copyright issue that's the main concern.

But I always thought there was some kind of expiration limit - after which it becomes public domain. No? Any copyright lawyers out there?

I thought for music it was something like 70 years - or maybe so many years after the artists death. ? I would Imagine there's something similar that applies to printed documents.

Just might be there already. I recently saw such advertised for outboard motors. You could get the manual shipped to you or you could sign up for a limited time online access for a lot less money.

I signed up for the online access and it works great.
