I'm located in Evansville, Indiana and have been an equipment "junkie" for years. Owned a part-time tractor parts and implement business for 8 years, dealing mostly with the old Ford tractors. Just bought a JCB 1400B to do a little work around the property. I am sure I will need some help finding parts. Looking for a parts manual right now if anybody know where I can find one!
