Jon, I walked into Barnes & Noble (Well the Wife) she came home with one, my brother has it now . The Chilton's manual. You can also alot of times get them off of either Amazon or eBay pretty cheap. Mine from B&N was $11.95 a few years ago. Goose

Around Here, The JD Dealer uses a Ranger and the other Farm related dealers or suppliers use them for doing part chasing or for "General" work. If they need a bigger truck it's a F-150. Even NAPA drives a Ranger, along with the Mower dealers. We have a Chevy and Chrysler dealer in town much...

I had to once haul a 150 bushel wagon full of corn into the Elevator after my Dad's tractor broke down. That 4cyl. Auto /OD in my 1998 . Put Her in Low and Slow but She did it. People were :eek:. So I think that is a pretty good test of towing power. Goose
