If you're old enough, you might remember the song "Where Have All the Flowers Gone." Well, I'm wondering where have all the manuals gone. I'm looking for manuals for my 1994 - 1995 Hitachi EX270 LC. If anyone has an extra operators, service, parts, other manual that they want to sell, please let me know. You can reach me at [email protected]
The Manual is here I managed to get the brochure. Its here brochure
Need full manuals Thanks, that is helpful. But I still need the full manuals for the EX270. Still looking.
Wajax can't supply them???
Good idea. If I can't find a used set, I will check with Wajax. They might have a source for them.
They'd be the first place I'd check, they should be able to supply you with one. Maybe this could help too. http://cgi.ebay.ca/HITACHI-JOHN-DEE...VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247
I checked with WAJAX. They don't have anything, but can order the manuals, at a cost of about $800 for the set. For now, I think I'll keep on looking. The ebay item interests me, but my machine is an EX270 LC. The ebay manual is for an EX270-5LC, which I think is a newer machine. I wonder how many differences there are between the machines? Different engine? Other differences?
used manuals for this model if it is a straight 270 are going to be hard to find, is it a grey market machine? Also is it a -3 model, best yet post the serial number.
Ouch, I figured Wajax could get them, but was thinking more along the 4-500 range, 8 is a little much. Well if I come across another option I'll pass it along. Sometimes the new manuals can be had on CD for about one third the cost of the paper editions, I wonder if anyone is producing them on CD for the older machines. Sorry, I don't know much about the year to year differences and would hate to pass along incorrect advice.
Go to the John Deere bookstore online. You can order printed manuals, CDs, DVD,s or even a down load. They list parts, operators and service manuals for the 270 and the 270-5.(was there a Dash 3?) Even if it is grey market I believe they are close enough that these will work. And they are cheaper than Wajax and they get here alot quicker. I've ordered quite a few this way and it's a nice way to go.
Excavator, thanks very much for that suggestion!! I'll probably buy what I need and download it.
Www.jdtechinfo.com Just put in the model number in the search menu and your good to go
