This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Hardinge HLV-H Lathe Maintenance Manual.  It covers the assembling and disassembling of the entire lathe, and it is done very well. The maintenance instructions in this manual are some of the best I've ever seen. Plain and simple, they don't get any better than this.

Overview:

I have collected this information for many years and have found the information they contain to be priceless in using and setting up the machines properly. I believe this manual will be a valuable resource of knowledge that will provide a lot of helpful information that is often hard to find. My manuals are not photocopies. I maintain a high standard of quality in my reproductions. Most of the manuals I reproduce look better than their originals. I have professionally digitally edited every page, and removed stains, wrinkles and handwriting. All of the manuals are printed on thick white paper to withstand shop wear and tear.
