I posted a few earlier messages to try to get more information to figure out what kind of tractor I was going to buy. I was considering 8n's, Jubilee's, Oliver Super 55's and others. I finally purchased a tractor this weekend. The one I bought is a 1956 International 350 Utility (serial #1950). It looks like a good tractor for work on a small acreage, bush hogging, pulling logs, light disc work, etc. It is the gas model and has the 2 pt fast hitch. This is my first tractor, so I apologize if my questions are basic, but that is where I am starting with this thing. First, where is the best place to get manuals, and what manuals should I get? At this point, I am looking for something to actually use, so I don't mind if they are reprints. I'm thinking I'll need Operators Manual and shop manuals for both the engine and the chassis. Are some of the aftermarket manuals more useful than the originals? Second, the tractor has a 2 pt fast hitch. Am I better off looking for implements with the fast hitch connection (I know they are harder to find than 3 pt implements), or should I buy a 3 pt conversion kit so I can use standard implements? If the way to go is conversion kit, what is best, the 1 piece unit or the individual arms and separate top link? I'm sure I will have more questions as I get into this deeper, but these two will get me started. I'm also listing my questions on the TractorByNet board, so if you this posting there, it is the same person. I really appreciate any help any of you can give me. Thanks. Joe

Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
