>>Hi Will:

>>I just Spoke with the Service Support Rep at AYP (Husqvarna) and Sears and they Both Informed me that there is No Shop Manual Avaliable for this Unit.
>>The IPL that is Listed at the Sears Site and the Service Manual that I have are the Same According to my Research.
>>You can Try to Locate a Shop/Service Manual by Contacting this Site Addy; http://sears.pammar.net/ @ rideout@suscom-maine.net and Inquire about a Shop/Service Manual for this Unit.
>>They have a Large Listing and Some of the Units they have Manuals for have Not been Listed Online.
>>If you Use the Link "Vintage Sears Parts and Service" you will See a Page Listing Companies and People that Offer Sears Parts, Service and Manuals that you can also Contact in Search of a Shop/Service Manual.
>>I Hope this Helps.
>>I will List this on my To Do List, but at the Present it will be Several Weeks before I have the Time to Research the Sites and Try to Locate a Manual for you.
>>I will also Look at the Transmission Tonight and See If I can Determine or at Least Start in some Diagnostics to Determine the Reason for your Problem.
>>You can Also Ask the Other Experts Here at All Experts and they may have a Better Solution for you.
