A 5,761 page Caterpillar repair manual set for the 329D L and 329D LN excavators, serial prefixes XDB and EBM, built around the Caterpillar C7 engine. It is a Caterpillar SIS export with one unusual and useful trait: the fold-out schematics sit at the front of the book, pages 1 to 72, not buried at the back.
Page 9 is the colour hydraulic schematic for the universal quick coupler attachment, and the components on the circuit carry their own Caterpillar part numbers: main hydraulic pump 272-6955, main control valve 259-7602, swing motor 158-8986, travel motors 215-9952, quick coupler valve 254-3080 with its solenoid 258-6749, joysticks 232-4100 and 225-4813, accumulator 164-6981.
Page 25 is volume 1 of 2 of the electrical system, a 48 by 35 inch colour sheet of cab and chassis wiring with a printed colour key, a wire colour abbreviation table and numbered application notes. The composition was measured page by page from the media number printed in each header, so it is known rather than guessed: 2,537 pages are the machine hydraulic and machine-systems books, including '325D and 329D Excavators Machine System Specifications' and the hydraulic system volumes, 1,146 pages are the generic Caterpillar C7 engine books, 625 pages are the machine electronic control system, 484 pages are air conditioning, 468 pages are the tool control system, whose covers name the 340D and 340D2, and 379 pages are the D Monitor monitoring system.
