Hi Have you tried Dallas Auto's Always worth checking out. Regards Alan

Hi I have been once, did a guided walk a while ago. I live in Stevenage so only about an hour away in the truck , so could give it a run out over there. Is it for an event or just a run out ? All the best Alan

This is a great site, I've a 1942 WC51 and am lucky enough to have the original manual for it but didn't want to get it covered in grease. I down loaded the manual from here and print the pages I need laminate them and use them, no damage to the original and I have a wipe clean copy to use and keep. All the best Alan

Hi go to a site called internet archive and search TM 9-808 you can view and save the manual for free. Hope this helps. Alan

Hi Go to a web site called internet archive type in TM9-801 then search, it will show you the manual which you can view or download. I did this for both my WC51 & 353 saved a lot of money as manuals don't come cheap. All the best Alan
