Alain C - have you found a pretty copy of the operators' handbook online?

thanks

f
The one on google books is about the best looking one out there for a quick download. I have another copy but the scan was pretty bad and many pages are faded and hard to read.

Who cares, I am happy with what I have.
I explained my position up above pretty clearly.

Company claims they are selling material which is "copyrighted" by them and selling for profit ($25-$50) = wrong.

If you just paid $5, that sounds like someone only charged you for the price of the CD (~$0.25-$1) and the postage (~$3-4) = fine.

But you can spend your money how ever you want. Guess I should just pull all the manuals off our website and sell them instead then of paying for website hosting out of my personal pocket and giving them away for free

Default Yorke Mules

We used 2 of Ian Newby's 1 ex us army the other ex US Marines. Full on loads loaded in Abbotsford, driven on to the trailer. Then On to the ferry to the island then a short 220km drive north/west to Kelsey Bay (look up story of breakwaters of WW2 ships!) drove off the trailer down the ramp onto the landing barge 35 minutes to Yorke drove off and up the embankment and all the way to the Battery. first time a powered vehicle had been on the island probably since they hauled away the camp buildings after the war. Used them to haul additional building material off the beach that Parks dropped off to build a comfortable and by the second day very popular loo.
I only took a few photo's on my phone which I'll post shortly. Others took video.
Hope they post some.
