snuffy, I actually ordered my books parts manual & shop manual from pittsburg tractor which is in TEXAS /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif 903-856-6548 they had everything I wanted for my 135. You could also try your local dealer if you have one local. Also there is a website called SSBtractor.com and a few others I'm sure that can help. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif But my owners manual came with the tractor,that could be hard to find..My neighbor has a 50 I will ask him if he has one and where he got it. You could still try those places,There is also a helpful MF dealer in southern VA. called Smith & sons but I can't find any info on them now(sorry) Good Luck! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
