Let me add that John Deere used to have an education site that had some good beginner as well as advanced manuals on hydraulics and all other fields of farm equipment, machinery and farming.
By now they probably have DVD's as well.
While I haven't used their things in a while, the price was reasonable with info and ordering on-line.


A quick search got these sites for me but I didn't look any further.

John Deere - John Deere Publishing

JohnDeere - JohnDeere Publishing

I'm liking the Army field manual. Seems like a good mix of theory and reality, and it's free.

Also you may want to try some place like amazon.com and search for a Vickers book. I think the book is close to 20 years back but is a good one if you really want that covers good detail.

John Deere is one of the most respected publishers of basic training books, about EVERYTHING around Hydraulic, electrics, engines, transmissions, etc etc.......


The hydraulic book I used to have was from the 1970's....
I almost got one from Ebay a while ago.....cant find it there just now....John Deere have a publication, that even the DOF have copied parts of.....I think it is the one "Instructor Guide FOS1007T US$ 38.95", but not 100% sure....

EDIT:
woops...it might be this one....."Hydraulics Textbook -English FOS1007NC"

Here is a link to the Army's FM 5-499 Hydraulics manual.

FM-5-499, HYDRAULICS-ARMY

It is full of very useful information for the beginner and pro.
