Wanted / Re: WTB: Spare Parts/Maintenance manual for a 1955 to 58 R-18 wide gauge

« on: December 27, 2008, 01:30:06 am »

Thanks Cranman for the info.
 I did go onto ebay but either I was to late or did not see it. I have a bit of info. from the Bombardier museum but you could hardly say that it was very complete. There was 1 page on a operator`s manual and 5 pages on spare parts. The spare parts numbers only related to some of the pictures of the diagrams. I have seen pictures of an older C13 manual in this site that had 3x`s the info. that I have now.
 I did pick up a maintenance/parts manual for a 1960 Chrysler industrial engine that covers the (2) 6 cyl. engines and the 313 v8. When I get it, and it can help someone on this site, I would concider sharing the engine info. for the 6 or 8 cyl. that is needed.
 So,... I hope that someone can help in finding a copy of the maintenace/parts manual for a 1957-58 R-18 wide gauge. As I said that I would pay for the coping and shipping.
Thanks,
Doug

Hi,
 Just found this site a few days ago. In the past, lived in Flin Flon, Manitoba. Use to help my dad commercial fish on Athapap, Wedge Lake, 1St, 2nd, 3rd Cranberry lakes in lte 50`s, early 60`s. We use to have 2 bombs. I was young at the time and can say I did not like the -40+ wather when we were fishing.
Now retired, living in Beaumont, Alberta. In the process of buying a wide gauge 52, R-18. It needs a lot of tender care. Will be asking for help to find parts here as I don`t know where to look at this time.
If I ever get it going, will try to make it home to Flin Flon for the meet. I just have to go across Athapap as we have a cabin on the big lake.
