Newbie: International TD-6 Advice?

A business partner of mine just purchased a International TD-6 for use on our mine. I'm not familiar at at with Farmall/International models, maintainence, etc. I did some basic tractor work on my grandfathers farm for a few years as a teenager but I remember little. Never messed much with maintainence either.

Can anyone suggest where to find an operators manual(cheaper the better), operating instructions?

The work site is very remote, we know we'll run into problems and want to be as prepared as possible. Any suggestions on recommended tools /sizes to keep out there, common problems/issues, suggested reading, or things to check out BEFORE we trailer it and take it on site?

In addition, any operating do's/don't with this machine. I'm not sure off the top of my head but I believe it was a mid-late 50's model.

We paid the dealer to service it and fix a few borderline problems it had. But I'm obviously a bit skeptical.

Like I said, were looking at putting a tool kit together, we can't keep everything on sight. Also, because I'm a state away and won't be out there for a while any book/article where I can learn basic operation in order to shorten the learning curve?

Sorry for the novel. Thanks ahead of time guys.

If you're out in Oregon anywhere, there's a parts machine for sale in the Cave Junction area. Classified listing is on www.elderlyiron.com

We have TD6 with a drott 4 way bucket that we used to use to clear fence rows etc. it is straight diesel and I don't remember the year eactly. The only problems I remember having on it were knocking off the fuel line on the tank (limb got wedged in there and broke it off) of course it ran out of fuel before Grandpa noticed it, that ate up most of the afternoon getting the air out of the lines.Also the hand clutch was a bit grabby and someone who was using it let it snap and it broke the ring gear, a company sent a supposedly correct one to my uncle and he put it in,and didn't check the ratio against the old one, but now the thing FLYS! not very useable the way it is.someone said they thought the gears were for a loader,but who knows. My advise is just be gentle with the old girl so she don't "break a hip". She should last a good while if you are carefull with it and don't work it too hard.

Ditto on the cooling down before you shut it off.
