I can sympathize with that. The other day before it cooled off and got nasty out around here I finished putting the lift and bucket lines and hoses back on my 555A John Deere Hi-lift. I think engineering took a poll on the most difficult routing possible for those lines and hoses and used the winner. I have a transmission overheating problem to diagnose (the radiator is clean BTDT) I started reading in my tech manual on the transmission and lo and behold 15 pages are missing, not torn out just not there. The binding is intact and the page numbers in the section go from like 920-20-2 to 920-20-17. Another thing that pisses me off is when the will explain an obvious procedure in detail like changing a spin on filter but not something that isn't obvious like the fuel tank screen on that hi-lift. Had to take it out as well and since it is under the seat behind the transmission oil filter you cant exactly see what you are doing especially since the only way you can reach the line fittings with a wrench is to remove the cover under the fuel tank and reach in from behind. Most of those screens, well all of them except this one I have dealt with come out with the fitting. this thing threads into the tank then the fittings for the line go on ahead of it. Not knowing this I destroyed it trying to pry it out thinking it had broken off the fitting. If they can put spin on filters instructions in the manual a heads up on that damn thing wouold have been nice. Now my rant is over. Next!
