Try to find an OEM original. Sometimes those reprints look like a bad copy of a bad fax and the pictures and diagrams are horrible to see.

I&T manuals have about 5% of the information in an OEM shop manual. Sometimes less.
Take a look at: http://grandpas-tractor-site.s3.amazonaws.com/manuals/ac" rel="nofollow - http://grandpas-tractor-site.s3.amazonaws.com/manuals/ac
for AC manuals, op and shop.

Thanks, thats the direction the Agco dealer suggested I go and you're right it's pricey about 119 $ but sounds indepth nearly a thousand pages, thought I'd ask around before buying.

Welcome to the forum. There's lots of great guys on here to give you help when needed.
It is a lot of money but on the same note we can be happy they still offer a reprint of the original book.

120.00 is not a bad price for a oem shop manual i would much rather have hard copy than mess around printing of the computer

OEM manuals are definitely the way to go especially if you’re comparing them to the I&T manual aka Butt first manuals as after a couple of paragraphs of trearing into something, it will read “butt first.......”

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

If that $120.00 manual with it's detailed system information, and troubleshooting information saves you one unnecessary part from AGCO, you will likely more than pay for the manual.

...I will say this,my OEM manual for 8070 has some mighty poor quality pictures.When working on PD and trans the pictures were not a great help.
