For 50 years, from 1941 to 1991, my dad and grand-dad ran a garage that majored in farm tractor repairs. Many of the overhauls they did in the 1960's are still out there running strong today. While they at one time had all the factory manuals for the Farmalls, for the other makes they kept a binder of the I&T manuals...which was pretty heavily used. The specs there were detailed enough to insure a fine engine job...PROVIDING YOU USED THEM. The main thing is, without the binder full of I&T manuals, there was NO WAY they were going to be able to work on ALL makes of tractors and still do a QUALITY job...without investing in a veritable LIBRARY of factory manuals. And if you only did one Oliver 88 or Case VAC or Allis WD a year, for example, the investment in a FACTORY manual was almost ridiculous, when the I&T manuals were decent enough without the "exclusive" manufacturer's inflated price.

So, to whoever's knocking the I&T manuals...if you worked on this stuff for a living, not for some absentee owner's reputation but for YOUR OWN, the I&T manuals were (are) a valuable resource; they ain't factory direct, but they're mighty good.
