It definitely is a must have.  It's great.  Keep one in trunk and one on workbench.

Awesome!! Many, many thanks for this! I have been searching everywhere for one and could not locate one for sale anywhere on the internet. I know how time consuming the scanning of manuals is having done a few myself. I look forward to reading through this thoroughly. Thank you very much.

The part 1-B worked for me when I downloaded the file to my hard drive, then opened it from there.

Don't forget that KFOCI members get free WANTED ads in KFOCI MONTHLY BULLETIN.  You can look for manuals, parts, ???? relating to K-F or certain Willys products.

Based on Jim's notes on the file sizes of the various chapters, it is not possible to include the "big books" for parts and shop manuals as part of a KFOCI Handbook in future.   There is not enough space for everything on 1 CD.

I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate you taking the time to post this manual. It will be an indispensable asset during my attempt to get this old '53 Manhattan back on the road in the near future. Thank you very much!

Thanks for doing this Jim.  I have a old laptop on my work bench.  Impressive when you can pull up the shop manual online.  Thanks!
