Owners Manual and some implements manuals available at the top of this page, free PDF downloads, look for PDF MANUALS OR RUDI'S MANUALS and select numbered series LoBoy. This will get you started on basic service and operation. The TC37F parts list, TC131 Parts List and ENG-1 Rev. 20 will cover most of the parts. Select any of the GSS Blue Ribbon Service Manuals and you will learn a lot about service and maintaining the tractor. Using the tractor SN, you can find the year/ID/number made, etc at the link "WHAT YEAR IS MY CUB" in the tool bar at the top of this page. Hope this is helpful. Stan

Don't forget to grease the throwout bearing. It's hard to get to and even more difficult to get grease into the zerk, but it's really easy to forget.
Oh yea, there isn't a zerk on the distributor shaft, but this requires grease too.
