Best manual for 130

I"m leaning toward the I&T Shop Manual. Available in Canada from Haugholm Books. $38Cdn.

It will be good experience. I"ve split a couple Cubs thus far with little to no problems so the 130 should only be heavier. Thinking of making a wheeled stand(s) to roll the 2 halves apart.

I think I should be able to disconnect the clutch shaft right at the input of the trans. unlike the Cub where you have to pull the whole shaft back from out of the clutch pilot until you clear the torque tube.

Also, I think a rear split should be easier as the Touch Control tubes will not have to be removed.

I could never see including 230, 240, 404 and 2404 in with the others. While they share some items with 100, 130, 140 and 200 the hydraulics are quite diffeent and a quite few pages deal with hydraulics in my book.

While I've never seen it, I like the sound of Service Manual GSS 100/140, might just be combined version of the Blue Ribbon Service manual IH put out for each tractor at time of manufacture. I have a copy of Blue Ribbon for my 140 and like it. I do find myself going to both to figure out some things. Leads me to believe, no one is perfect at date of my manuals. Could be both these new ones are perfect. There you go, I didn't solve much for you.
