Hi all - just picked up this manual, Medium Tank M3. I need a copy of the front cover and a better inside page.

Hi all - obviously I have the only copy in the world of this manual seeing the lack of response. All I need is a scan of the cover.

I wish I had one..... Then I could sell it to you, and donate the money to the forum.

I know someone who has a M3 tank but doesn't have a manual.

Hi Ryan, You might be able to make their day at

And Bob your copy is the earlier issue and was superceded May 9, 1942. Perhaps you could use the pages from the link above and a little photoshop or something. Otherwise someone else may have exactly what you're requesting.

I'm not sure if I have this May 1942 as an original myself, I haven't found it yet if I do.

There is a British version around, printed in USA, titled 'Handbook on M3 Medium Tank' August, 1941 with a stitched binding and tan covers and the 'Not to be Published...His Majesty's Service' warning on the cover. It doesn't contain as much detail as TM9-750 and I noted that the roadwheel bearings are drawn as single-row ball when they're double but otherwise a good publication.

For the information. At least I now have an indication of what to look for.
