Which manual, which brand?

[hikerduane]

Just got a old B6100, 4X4 with loader (FEL ?), 2165 hours from my brother who had it a year and put 15 hours on it. I've been looking for a manual and not quite sure which one fits the bill. I only plan on doing maintenance myself and hopefully, light if any repairs, not requiring specialized tools. Do I need a shop manual, service and repair manual, what? I have a owners manual on order and would like to get a parts manual, but unsure which other manual I need and who publishes the easiest to follow. I did a few page search here, but only saw mention of downloads. I'm old fashioned and would prefer a book in front of me. Besides, my home computer is on dialup and my moms printer does not work and I don't want to print at work.

You don't really need to buy the parts manual, you can go strait to Kubota.com and get the parts list.
But if you really want it:
P/N 97898-20130 $27.67

The WSM (Workshop Service Manual) you want can be downloaded off of kubotabooks.com for free, but if you want a printed version, you can buy one here:
P/N 97897-10502 $59.96

Thank you Wolfman. I was wondering if that manual or another, shorter version was best.

On your next trip to town go to a library and use thier internet connection to go to Kubotabooks.com and download all the manuals and print them off, cheap and easy.
