Default M38A1CDN2/3 Parts Manual

Since the CDN2 & 3's are different from the earlier M38A1's, is there a parts manual, that is available, for purchase? I have the early original parts manual, along with its 67 updated supplement but it does not cover the CDN2/3's. So basiclly was a new parts manual made to cover these vehicles? Is so, where can I get one? Thanks

Default differences

If you search Rob Love's postings (and they go back a few years too), he posted several comments on the differences. There might even be a reference to the authoritative manual.

From my recollection the principle difference is the CDN3 has larger brakes and the axle end caps are noticeable.

There was a supplement added to the back for the Cdn2s. Later another supplement was added for the Cdn 3s. They were supposed to be inserted after the main body of M38/M38A1 text but before the photos. They did not have illustrations with them.

I did a search under Rob Love's postings and found a item from Brian Asbury. He said in the 2012 post that he had these manuals and supp's available for sale. I sent him a PM on the manuals, am waiting fof his response. Thank You to Rob and Maple for the answers. Rich

I have purchased a copy of the repair manual from Brian and it is great- I would even go as far as saying it is superior to the older US manual.

Cheers,
Rick

It will be superior for a Canadian for two reasons. First it covers NSNs and parts which were later supplied when stock exhausted. The US manuals often relate to the early issues of Jeeps. In the US, the M38A1 became substandard when the M151s came out. Here in Canada they remained the standard until the mid 70s, when we finally went to the M151A2Cdn.

Secondly, the manual relates to those parts that are uniquely Cdn, like the convoy lamp, or the late changes to the brakes and electrical of the Cdn2 and 3, both after US purchases had ended.

Having seen and used both manuals, I would take the Cdn one anyday.

Default Also looking for the amanual for the M38 CDN2

I am new here. I am working on an M38A1 CDN2, 1968 vintage.
I would like to buy a copy of the manual mentioned in this post. Right now it is the wiring schematics I am most in need of. Can some one put me in touch with Brian Ashbury who appears to be selling them?

thanks
Bill
