I stumbled across this today. Lots of tool catalogs out there:

Oh my, you are late to the treasure chest. The good news is lots of treasure to go around. The library has been available for a few years now. Often referred to here, often as ITCL, or IA/ITCL. The host @Mark Stansbury is now a member here. If you have good catalogs to share, he'd like to hear from you.

It's my first reference for true vintage literature.

I still have a small pile of stuff I need to send off to Mark.

Wonder if he would want the lawnmower repair manuals? Need to send him a note on that one.

Not to hijack a thread, but I recently picked up a locked file cabinet at an auction. Drilled it out to open and there was a few car manuals and an old Barrett Hardware Co. catalog. Pretty good shape for being from 1962 and is over 600 pages. Pretty neat.
