Different Workshop Manuals? L305/L345/L355

[evantwheeler]

User @North Idaho Wolfman emailed me a Workshop Manual for the L185 series all the way up to the L355 series. Its a 63 page document. As I perused eBay looking for various L305 related stuff, I came across a listing for a WSM specific to the L295/L305/L345/L355 model tractors. It had this as the listing photo:

What I received for my $15 is the exact same 63 page pdf that NIW sent me for free I was expecting a more comprehensive and larger tractor specific manual. My question is - does a larger more comprehensive manual exist, or is the 63 page manual that covers the L185-L355 the only one out there?

No that's the only WSM that there is, or at least that I've ever seen or known of.
And that is a pretty detailed WSM compared to some others.
What exactly are you not finding out?

What exactly are you not finding out?

I just want to confirm there aren't multiple manuals out there. The WSM cover that I posted above states only "L295 / L305 / L345 / L355", and I just found it odd that it would also contain the info for the smaller tractors, without listing those models on the cover page.

If there was a more comprehensive manual that covered just the larger tractors, as the cover indicates, I wanted to seek it out and procure one. Sounds like such a thing doesn't exist.

That's because that cover is a fake!
Everything about it is wrong for that year.
