Hey Ron
You can bet your bottom dollar that he doesn't know about this board and
how we get our parts, manuals, servicing info and even whole tractors. 
And that we, the owners, are not so addicted as to pay that kind of dough
for an original manual.  Heck, sometimes we pay less for a whole tractor.
