Tab: I'd be a bit shy on buying a manual on e bay, particularly the IH operator's or the Blue Ribbon service manuals. Just as an example 140 had 4 changes in electrical during the production run. 140 had a 21 year production run, thus unless you get the right manuals as per serial numbers and changes, it might not be 100% applicable. I have the list of serial numbers as changes took place, if you wish to e mail me.

You'll probably swear a bit at that steering box, they were poor design and most leaked by the time they were 5 years old. I've had moly grease in my SA and 130 for 25 years now, just pumped the 140 steering box full of grease about a month ago. I just put a grease zerk in the drain plug and pump in grease until it comes out the fill plug. Takes about 3-4 tubes of grease for the initial fill up and after that I put in about 6 pumps every time I grease the front end. It's the best way I know to stop that oil from dripping on axle and collecting dust. Some folks call it John Deere Corn head grease, but that is nothing more than moly grease. You have to fill it at first, then what you add is forced to gears.

If I were in the market for 140 manuals, I'd go to Binder Books give them your serial number, and get the right one. It may be Binder only publish the final one with all upgrades these days.
