Any recommendations on service/parts manuals for f series.12,14,20,30..do i-t cover these good,are other options available
 
Owner/operator manuel's are pretty basic. Capacities, operational instructions, care and maintenance, stuff like that. If that's all your looking for, they are OK but not much more in them.

If you are rebuilding/overhauling one, you are gonna need a repair manuel. They got torque specs, tolerances, instructions on how things come apart/go back together, stuff like that. Stuff that you are likely not going to find in an owners/operators manuel.

I'm thinking my book for an M is an I-T manual. I don't have it front of me. But if what I got is, it's a good book. Thinking it is. Alot of stuff in there, that my owners manuel for an H, doesn't have. I know this is referring to the letter series, but books for the F-series, I'm sure would be the same way.

Most parts are dis-continued. From IH anyways. If they are available, they likely aftermarket/reproduction. Not sure original part numbers would be of much use. Along with the need to have a parts book. I wouldn't waste my money on one, or have a use for it.

I have an F-20, and no books for it. Pretty basic machine. Pretty simple to work on. A lot of stuff is pretty old school. If you are up to snuff on old school mechanics, you can do a lot to these without a book. Common mechanical knowledge goes along ways on these. The magnito is probably one of the big things. Most modern day people know very little about those. That's what I mean about old school mechanics. Some stuff on these, is old school enough that it's either lost knowledge or was never learned by younger generations. But still simple.
 
IH had a Blue Ribbon Service manual -
Serviceman's Guide,
Shop Service manual
F-12, O-12, W-12, F-20, W-30, W-40
F-14, O-14, W-14, F-30, 10-20, WK40

There are aftermarket suppliers that produce copies and some may be found on the web for downloading.
There are also Blue Ribbon Service Manuals available for magnetos and clutches etc.
 
I have the I&T manual which covers all the F and standard series and I use it for my F14 which works well and a parts manual. One thing I learned about the F series tractors when IH made all the improvements to go to the letter series they made a lot of improvements on the manuals also.
