NAA Suggested Shop Service Manuals Insight Needed

sheath

New User
Hello all you well experienced Ford Tractor aficionados.
Which Service Shop Manuals would you recommend for the Ford NAA tractor?
I have already purchased and read the Ford Owner's Manual, Ford Service Shop Manual (seems a bit more like an addendum), and Ford Parts Manual.
I'm considering adding either the 8N Ford Service Shop Manual, and/or the I&T NAA manual, unless there is a better alternative/addition.

Quick background. I'm new to tractors but have 40 years professional mechanic experience. ASE master automotive and med/HD truck. Last 34 years at dealer/factory industrial equipment manufactures. So I'm not looking for "layman" type materials.

This is what I'm starting with:

Parts and documentation are starting to show up. :)

I would go with the I&T manual. It is good for 95% of what you want. For Parts manual use the CNH on line manual. Most of us go through Messick's because they are set up to do a lot on line. You can get maybe 75% of your parts from this site.

I have had real good luck purchasing reproduction manuals through ETSY, including for some not so common tractors.

Thank you Gentlemen!

Showcrop, I really appreciate your insight on this. 🍻
I found a pdf of the I&T Service Manual yesterday. Took a few minutes to peruse, and it seems like a great addition. So I'll go ahead and buy a nicer reproduction copy.
Also thank you for the tip on Messick's. So far I've purchased through Yesterday's Tractors, J&D and Dennis Carpenter. Will try Messick's for the next order.

Thanks SkipperII. I hadn't thought to check etsy. Will keep that tip in mind. Sincerely appreciated!
Part of the fun of this hobby is finding literature.
I was able to find the Davis loader manuals online (pdf versions) through Jensales. The Service Manual is a pre-production copy, but I was able to find a print copy of the final version on eBay. That will be here today. The other two have been printed out and the pages put in sheet protectors.
Also found the Farmstar EB-6-3 rear mounted blade owner's manual on line. Printed it out and put in sheet protectors as well.
All that will go in a ring binder.

Again, I sincerely appreciate your tips and insight. :thankyou:
 
The "bounty" so far. :cool:
Only slight disappointment is with the Davis Service Manual that was purchased off eBay. It is just a copy of the Jensale pdf. Not the final version I was hoping for.
But that gives me something else to hunt for. :)
