Where can I find a repair manual or repair information for a 1987 Mercedes 300D?

There are several book stores as mentioned, however, the best source for information is from your local Mercedes-Benz dealer. You can order the manuals new from the dealer. Total cost will be about $500 but you can save that much in just one repair if you are mechanically inclined.
Most after market books do not have anywhere near the information that the factor manuals have and as such are mostly a waste of money.

I have a second hand after market manual for the 300D (published by Haynes) an English company. The vehicles were much the same from 1979 to 1987. ( W123 body). The manual is for sedans but mechanically similar to the wagon which I had. I have disposed of the car. I found the manual handy as I was plagued by the vacuum system (which operated the central locking & auto transmission)still miss the economy of diesel & the seating comfort. Would part with it for $25 (incl post). It cost from memory $38. Also have 2 X genuine head gaskets ( for $40 for both) package damaged but believe the gaskets OK. I'm located in SE Queensland

You probably wanted to say. "What years did MB import to the USA". But failing that, doug0102 has the most correct answer. From 1936 to the present. The 1938 Mercedes-Benz 260D was the first diesel engined production passenger car and was made from 1936 to 1939. The 2545 cc overhead valve, 4 cylinder engine employed the Bosch diesel injection system and produced 45 BHP at 3000 RPM. The car weighed approximately 1600 kg and could reach a top speed of 95 km/h. A three speed gearbox with overdrive was fitted and it gained synchromesh on all ratios from 1938. The chassis was based on Mercedes technology of the time and had transverse leaf spring independent front suspension and swing axles at the rear. The brakes were hydraulic. A range of body types were made including saloons, landaulettes and cabriolets. An example of the car is displayed at the Mercedes-Benz museum in Germany.

Buy the 3-manual set if you really want to learn anything. The cheap 100 page books aren't worth the money. With the 3 manual set, the first repair you do yourself has paid for it.

Try your local library for books. As you can view thru several different publishers you can decide which one gives you the most info and get that book from a book store. They need the ISPN number on it and they can order the exact copy up for you.

Rather than order it from a dealer (very expensive), try one of these sites:dieselgiant.com, mercedessource.com, or try a messageboard on edmunds.com. hope this helps! Or ask me, I owned a cantankerous 1983 300SD that I fired a few months ago!
