1903 – "INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING The New Holland Gasoline Engines Directions as to Their Care and Use" is shown on the front cover. This is the first known NHMC manual and only includes the 1 1/2HP engine. "Parts of Vertical Pump Jack and Separator Clutch" parts diagram and pricing is included. On the front cover, the publisher is identified as "New Holland Clarion, New Holland, Pa. U.S.A.". The Clarion was the local New Holland newspaper printer and print shop.
1908 – "The New Holland Gas & Gasolene Engines Stone Crushers, Feed Mills, Wood Saws and Pumping Outfits" is on the front cover. The 1908 cover graphic design is slightly modified from the 1907 cover. This is the third known NHMC manual and only includes the 1 1/2HP and 3HP engines, "Introduction to a description of our line of Pump Jacks, Cream Separator Clutches and General Fixtures" and "The New Holland Wood Saws". The name of the publisher nor date is included. As the 3HP was introduced mid-1908 and the 1/2HP, 2HP, 4HP and 5HP were introduced in late 1909/early 1910, this manual fits into that period (1908-1910).
1910 – "Instruction Book No. 2" - There is no publication date in the manual nor does it indicate who published the manual. In 1910 NHMC started selling the 1/2HP, 2HP and 5HP engines. NHMC was already selling the 1 1/2HP and the 4HP engines. All of these engines are included in this publication. Note: The 1903 manual indicates "Instructions For Operating The New Holland Gasoline Engines".
