looking for manual

my 1978 3600 has the 4 speed auto reversing transmission and it is not covered in the FO-41 manual I bought. can somebody tell me the correct manual that tells about this transmission. I fixed the shifter and now need to change the fluid and filter.
 
The 3600 was not generally sold with that transmission, but as I always say, never say "never" or "always" when talking about Ford tractors.

I don't think that there is an I&T manual that covers the torque converter power reversing transmission. I believe that it is only covered in the Ford manual specific to the utility/industrial series tractors, which is a supplement to the main Ford Service manual for that time period. Search for a service manual for a 340, which is the Utility model in the 3xxx series that was made at the same time as the 3600, so yours should have the same transmission.

With the above being said, normal maintenance items like fluid and filter changes are covered in the Operator's Manual (Owner's Manual), not the Service Manual, so look for an Operator's Manual for a 340.

The filter should be a spin-on type on the left side of the transmission case that should be replaced when you change the fluid. The drain plug is on the bottom of the transmission and the fill hole is on the transmission top cover next to the gear shifter and neutral safety switch. It looks like a large hex head bolt and should have a dipstick built in. There is another filter, which is a metal screen on the oil pickup line inside, which is meant to be cleaned and re-used, but you shouldn't need to worry about that unless the oil that you drain out is very contaminated with particles, which it shouldn't be, and if it is then you need to look inside for more serious reasons than cleaning the filter. Use any UTF that says on the label that it meets or exceeds the Ford/New Holland M2C134D specification.
 
I've never seen a 3600 with an auto reversing transmission. They were used in tractors such as the 4400 and 4500. Information on that transmission is in the Industrial Derivatives repair manual.
