Manuals

We still have hundreds of genuine Case manuals. Parts, Service, Operators, for Utility, Construction, and Agricultural machines, even many rare farm implement parts books. Some are still in the wrapper, some are like new, some are slightly smudged, some are REALLY soiled, but all are still legible. We also have a few Kubota manuals, as well as a few for Drott, Cat, Komatsu, Deere, and other brands.

"Which manual do I need for my tractor?"
I get asked this question pretty often. Below is a general overview of what you can usually expect of the manuals that we sell. Call or write for more specific information, we'll be glad to tell you as much as possible.

The Owners or Operators Manual:
In my opinion, the most important manual to have. About the size of a Reader's Digest, it has not only operation and safety instructions, but important maintenance info that you won't find anywhere else, even in the Service Manual.

The Parts Manual:
OK, this one's a little more obvious. Exploded views make it easy to identify the part you need by OEM part number, and it also makes it nice to see how the tractor is put together. Caution: Before 1976 or so, the tractor, loader and backhoe were usually covered in separate books. We'll do our best to see that you get what you want.

The Service Manual:
Depending on the model of your tractor, this book can be between 2 and 5 inches thick. This is the same book used by mechanics in dealerships. It will include detailed specifications, schematics, and pictures on engine, transmission, hydraulic, and other components. Includes some troubleshooting, though the earlier books aren't as detailed in this area as the later ones. If you only plan to do minor maintenance, this book may not be worth the investment, since it may not cover the simpler tasks. If you plan to do most or all of your own repairs, it's money well spent.
