Look here: Ride a Matic - Manuals - Garden Tractor Talk - Forums

I posted the manuals for your tractor, and the attachments which I believe you have (sickle bar, plow, tiller, and reel mower). ....If you have different model numbers for your attachments, let me know, and I may have manuals for them.

I also posted some other attachment manuals, as well.

You may not be able to download all of the manuals at one visit, so may have to spread your downloads over several visits to this site.

I think i may have to return to the drawing board, after looking at the 61 manual, i think it must be a bit earlier, its got rear mud guards but no shift lever as from the 61 model, it looks more like the 60 model with mud guards and foot operated drive but no shift change.

Any comments gratefully received!

Just to answer previous question, flap on hood has been added as an extra.

No shift change under seat, just a cam type arrangement on rear sprocket, reading through manuals and looking at pictures, shift lever was introduced in61, by my deductions now it must be a late 60 model, battery box under steering wheel, but was fitted with mud guard and battery box arrangement either from factory or someone fitted them later.

What a pain the data plate is missing!
