I used to get in a bit of trouble with my employer for giving out too much information over the phone or when a customer came into the shop asking questions. Original employer, not so much if it wasn't a constant thing with the same person and he did a fair amount of business with us.
New owner, whole different deal. I did a phone conversation, service manager heard me and sent the guy a bill. That went over like a lead pipe. It took two visits from the customer who got the bill to tell them what to do with the bill.
So, you see, if you walk into a shop and the mechanic won't help you out it may very well be that he is instructed, give out free information and you are out of here. I did leave but not just over that kind of crap.
As for books, old tractors fine. Newer ones like for instance a 70 series Magnum can cost you $500 dollars for a new book and that book doesn't explain how everything works. That information is in the training manuals that are not normally for sale.
I used to take the superceded sections home with me instead of destroying them so I have about a 60 or 70 percent complete Magnum and Maxium manual. But they keep changing things so even those sections are not always the latest information. But I do have the training manuals also because I went to several service training sessions. Another but, forgot most of it now though as I didn't work on enough of them to get it set in stone.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
