This isn't going to be the answer you want to hear. The OEM service (aka technical, shop, repair) manuals are generally the most comprehensive. One has to remember the service manuals are written for the dealer mechanics, not the DIY market. service manuals often do not include some basics like lubricant types fill and check locations, and service intervals, which are in the Operator's/Owner's manual. It is expected the dealer mechanic has access to both, so the info is not duplicated in the service manual. As for not having specific details on something like how to remove a steering wheel (stuck or not) would not be something they would write a procedure for, as it is expected an experienced mechanic would not need instructions to do. How to get a hydraulic tube out from the inside of a frame or backhoe boom is another thing I have seen many think the manuals should provide comprehensive instructions to perform, reality is the mechanic has to figure out.
Get the OEM manuals new, used, reprint, or electronic. Sometimes there may be several manuals in a service set (and they can cost more than $200, I've got a couple two manual sets that cost more than twice that, each). Getting help with some basic things like pulling a steering wheel or fishing a hose out are where forums like this come in handy. One can post their issue and generally can capitalize on the experience and ideas of others.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
