Hey guys. Need to ask a serious question here, and don't mean any ill thoughts to YT.com or anyone here!! Wasn't sure whether to post this under the Farmall/IH heading, but my thought was to hopefully ask this question to the overall crowd here.
As some of you may remember, I just purchased a Farmall 460 gas, with wide front and FEL. The engine purrs like a kitten, but there are other issues to be dealt with. I'm having a new 3-pt hitch delivered (hopefully next week), trying to find a better FEL (or at least a decent bucket), and a couple of minor leaks that need to be addressed. That said, everything needs work at some point, and I'm not well-versed with engines. Can muddle my way through most other things OK, but engines and I....well, we don't always see eye to eye.
Now here's the problem. I've found two potential Service Manuals that I could order, and I don't really want to have to buy both of them - which is why I'm asking your advice. One is the manual available from this site:
http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/IHS460560_7510.htm
$94.95 and 620 pages
The other is:
http://www.repairmanual.com/product/international-harvester-460-and-560-factory-service-manual-js-ih-s-460-560/
2-volume set with 461 pages for $74.95
Have also seen area-specific manuals covering things like electrical, diesel, LP gas, etc. I think I even remember seeing a manual specifically for the TA!
Of the above two manuals, which would you say would be better for my needs, and what other specialty manuals might I also consider? What about a good parts manual?
