I've rounded up very good service/parts/operating manuals for my L1720 FEL and 4672 backhoe. I've been search out which is the best manual for the L345DT. I have the I&T K3 manual.

My question is, I was wondering what folks opinion is regarding the better service manual between the Jensales and the WSM manual???

This is a fantastic and informative site. Yesterday I set my valves and coming across a post that showed the tear drop cover for the fly wheel timing marks made this practical.

PS: I also have a 98 12v Dodge Cummins for which I am responsible for the care and feeding.

WSM is just that factory Workshop Shop Manual. Jensales, to my knowledge, are all copied off of something else. Photos are too dark to see details, nothing near WSM.

I'll send you a link to a WSM for that tractor and you can compare to what you have. ;)

Thanks, that would be fantastic.

I'm waiting on a new set of glow plugs because one failed testing (both multimeter and directly via a battery charger). I didn't test number four GP because it is tucked behind the injector lines and I figured will just wait until the replacements GPs arrive and also do a compression test when I have everything apart.
