Hi All. I posted a message a while ago asking for advice for a novel that I'm working on (in which one of the characters is restoring an antique tractor and outfitting it with a biodiesel engine...etc). You guys were wonderful; thanks for the tips. I've decided to go with a Deutz MTZ222 semi-diesel (or a model close to that) from 1927 or 1928. I've found a few examples on the net. But I have two other questions that I'm hoping some of you can help me with. 1. Do you have any idea where I can find a manuel for a Deutz that old? I'm happy to pay for it (though within reason of course). 2. Can you recommend a basic and over-all book on tractor repair? One that will give me a diagram and just teach me the names of all the parts...etc? Thanks, as always, for your help. It's invaluable. - Josh
