Caterpillar receives inquiries from dealers concerning the availability of Parts Books, Service Manuals and Operation & Maintenance Guides covering military surplus machines purchased from the U. S. Government. Caterpillar does not offer Government product support literature for these machines. We do offer literature for commercial machines that may be similar.

The following list is provided to assist dealer personnel in obtaining repair and parts information for Caterpillar products that are built to Government specifications and have Military Serial Numbers. The Commercial Reference Column will give information on Commercial products that are similar to the Military version.
