HOW TO: ID Merc Alpha Outdrives and History

[Don S]

Just put this together from some scanned Merc school info and Jasons history.
See what you guys think. It's about 14 MB, but I can't get it any smaller.

EDIT

NEW link, same name same book, just a lot smaller.
It's now only 2.3 MB.

See what you guys think.

well, i think it's a winner. lots of great info in there.

will say it is kinda slow to download though (i got broadband too). wonder why. i think s/m 1 downloaded faster than that (an exaggeration). slow or not. it's worth the wait. thanks for the info. thanks to jj for his info too....

I just downloaded it, and it took 23 seconds. I do have the premium download turned on so it should be faster than just the free site. But who knows, 4shared may be having problems too. They have been real slow a few times the last week or so. Give them 10 minutes and all is fine again.

Looks pretty good Don. I'll play with the file, add some stuff I have and from other sites I scavenge, and i'll upload it to my 4share through a link here in the next couple of days. I'm pretty sure I can compress it a bit, I have adobe pro.

Re: HOW TO: ID Merc Alpha Outdrives and History

I just resized the book, now it's only 2.3MB instead of 14. Ought to make it easier on those with dialup.

Another update:
Added a couple of pages that shows the serial number range for each year.
Still using the same download link, it just has a couple more pages than it did.

I got to thinking about this and started thinking about what could have happened.
What version of Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat reader do you have.
The file was put together for version 6 or newer. Before version 6, you couldn't save the file if you wanted to, but you could still open it.
