Which manual to get first? (service, parts, IT?)

I can't dump $200 and get every manual available so which is the best bang for the buck. Projects I need to do first are: a simple fluid / filter change throughout, rebuild a couple spools on the Backhoe controls, some carb rebuild tips would be good too.

Do the parts manuals have everything I need (a guy here on the board had them for like $70) or should I just dive into the service manual and that be the only one I get. Or just pick up an I&T manual (P# C-201) off ebay for $25 to kick things off? I am hesitant to purchase after market manuals though, especially ones that say they apply to about about 500 difference tractor models!

Any tips or manual #'s that you recommend? If you have #'s, I may just call my local dealer to check for prices?

I have a '59 Case 310B with L & BH,
Ed

Thanks for the feedback. Will look into the owners manual first, there are definitely a few levers that I am not familiar with. Hope to get a service manual shortly after. Thanks,
Ed

Honestly, I have had good luck going to the dealer and asking for a copy of the pages to overhaul little things like cylinders. I would get the operators manual first, because there are things in there that you might not know about, like an easier way to change the hydraulic fluid, or what a latch on something is for. Plus, you can familiarise yourself with the machine. I buy all of the books for my machines when I can find them. I like the I&T manuals, except that they don't offer any help for non-case made systems which pisses me off sometimes, but oh well.

Get the service manual it will tell you how to do every thing but it will cost the most, You will save money in a long run if your a good mecanic.
If you dont know how to fix things wright or understand how things work spend the money at a dealer or a good repair shop. Good luck.

The I&T manuals aren't very good.

I agree, the IT manuals aren"t much help. I paid a lot for an original factory service manual but I don"t regret it..... .
