Title: Timberjack230a Manual
Post by: Kruz17 on April 06, 2024, 06:16:35 PM
Good evening,
 I recently purchased a Timberjack 230A, serial number CI7420 

I'm looking for a owners manual for this machine. I looked online including eBay but nothing that shows this specific serial number time frame. 
Any help would be appreciated !

search the website, or heck, my history.  You'll find a link to JD that will have the manuals available, printed, digital, or cd

found it...

As far as a manual goes, go to www.johndeeretechinfo.com.  I ordered the cd / repair manual for our 230D (74ish) it was about $35 and has paid for itself over and over again.  I believe all you'll need is the year(ish) and model of your rig.

No luck on that website
Close but not that specific serial CI 
There was CM,CB, Ce
Unless that is close enough ?

Wouldn't it be in manual AC5390_MF?  Its for 230a forwarders serial # AC5390-CM7699. 1989-1993. That sound right?  I just did a quick glance $33-$38. Sorry, that is the operators manual!

Maybe F276792_AV ? That one is spendy but appears to cover a wide range of skidders and forwarders
