What time of day did you order it? If it was after hours you might have had to wait for someone to process the order.

Got my service manual download from my dealer.... after some hounding from us.
As we were in the prosses of purchasing the tractor I told the dealer that I wanted a service manual....around two weeks later after talking with the secretary, sales run-a-round game, we got ahold of the owner and a download link showed in the email for one.

I know my dealership told me that to view the manuals they have to login to the LS site so they monitor or can monitor what dealers do. If that's true, maybe that's why you are seeing this being stopped. Don't know.
John Deere, Massey Ferguson, CNH, Kubota, Yanmar, and probably others I'm forgetting but they all offer service manuals for sale. Why LS doesn't is a big question. If you think about it they are loosing money by not offering one and dealership's are too by giving it away.
I told LS North America last year that they needed to start offering service manuals for sale and a parts website like the bigger manufacturer's do. To date I've not heard anything from them and that was expected.

I told my dealer I wanted them since I was far enough away that I couldn't bring the thing to them for little jobs. I wanted to be able to look stuff up to know what parts or problems to ask them about and to be able to point them to the pages I was looking at. Guy never even flinched, just asked me if PDF was OK.
Maybe the bigger machines would be different.
With such a small dealer network and so many of us so far from dealers, you'd think they'd make them available.

Maybe these are the real service manuals from LS.

You guys got me interested.... So I called my dealer today. He is going to send me a thumbdrive with the service manual. I am also a great distance away and do my own maintenance / repair, so that may be a factor.

Yep, looks like my PDF also.
But on my tractor cover pic on my PDF file, you can plainly see new Holland decorations on the hood!!!
