Lord help them if they try to find something in a hurry in the IH shop
manual (and they're unfamiliar with it).  I've been reading mine for
what... two years now... and I'm still finding new stuff in it and
forgetting where I saw something else.  I still can't find the torque value
for the transfer-case-to-automatic-transmission-extension-housing bolts!
Someday I'm sure I'll accidently notice it... and I better have a pencil
handy, because I'll never see it again. <grin>
