I've gotta agree with you Red. I don't mind giving torque specs or point settings to a jobber who is just fixing a customer's tractor - a guy can't own EVERY book out there. But when you buy a tractor the first tool you need for it is a manual - both an operator's manual and a repair manual. For me it goes back to the days when I was still messing with Volkswagons. A fellow named John Muir wrote a manual for it - "How to keep your VW alive - a guide for the complete idiot." One of the things he said was to take the manual and read it - cover to cover - like a novel. That advice has stuck with me ever since and served me well. So I too admonish others to get the darned manual already and read it. As for your spelling and punctuation, yeah I see a lot of bad writing on here.

Given the choice I'll take bad writing over cowardice any day.

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.
