1986 Canadian Armstrong MT500 Motorcycle

[rob love]

I ran across one of my ring binders of military motorcycle manuals yesterday. It is mostly parts manuals and modifications for the older Can Am 250s, but there is the military parts manual for the Armstrong MT-500.

Off of that we can get the EAC of 30905. Using that, the CFTO numbers can be deduced. The parts manual is C30-905-000/MX-000. All manuals for the Armstrong will start with the C30-905-000/ and just the rear portion of letters will change with the various manuals. For instance, MA will be a data summary, MB the users manual, MN the maintenance manuals, and CF will be any modification bulletins. Some of these could even be online in the CF system.

So basically, if guys are looking through their tech libraries, keep an eye out for anything in the C30-905 series.

I have another binder somewhere with more military motorcycle manuals, but it has thus far eluded me.

If anyone is interested in parts manuals for the can am along with some of the mod instructions, I have a number of those as well. I don't foresee me getting another mil motorcycle anytime soon. I also have 2 or 3 manuals for the old triumphs as well if someone is interested.
