I'm in Nova Scotia. Long way east from where you are. Actually, I have never priced or used the manuals from this site, just knew from previous posts that they were available. The I&T manual is good if you only need basic specs and have a general good understanding of what you are doing. The Ford manuals give a very in-depth systems and operation section for all components. They cover the whole series of 3 and 4 cylinder tractors, with (I believe) 9 volumes. The dealer parts books were the same layout. Personally, I don't usually bother with parts books, because I have pretty good parts support from my dealer, and if I'm stuck he prints the section out from PAL and faxes it to me. I have the original Ford Service manuals which cost me about 100 Cad. That was 10 years ago, so they are probably double that now. HTH.

Where'd you get your tractor? Picked mine up in Newton, TX.
