Mike: Operator's Manual is your single most important manual. It gives everything you need for year around operation, adjustments, capacities, maintainance, etc. of your tractor. As one other person said, "Far beyond the average car or pickup of today."

Parts manuals are good as they give all parts with numbers, plus they give you a good idea of how a lot of things go together. I've figured out items from parts manual that IT damn well didn't tell you.

I'd say yes to the Service manual as long as it's the original IH service manual. I've had an IT service manual that covers both my Farmall 130 and 140, for some years now. I'd call it insufficient at best. Just 3 weeks ago at an Antique Farm Tractor show with flea market vendors, I stumbled onto a IH Blue Ribbon service manual for the 140, in like new condition for $8.00 I'll give you a bit of advice on fixen up old tractors, NEVER be in a hurry, it always costs you too much money.

The rest of the manuals you have listed are worth $0.50 per dozen, as the operators manual probably tells you everything in them.
