Engine specs for Ford 1715 series

[AMCammie]

am an agriculture teacher in southern California and we are attempting to get a tractor up and running but have hit a snag with acquiring an owners manual for free. We are a High school program and do not have a budget for such things. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

An Owner's Manual or a Service Manual?

 

[AMCammie]

I need engine diagrams whatever had that

That would be the service manual.

If it's parts diagrams you are looking for, you can find them online at Messicks | The Equipment Parts, Sales & Service Experts

As for the complete service manual, the cheapest I can find online is this one from Etsy at $6.77 (on sale marked down from $7.87):

I have no idea why this one is so much less than the other online sources, but at under $10, it might be worth a gamble. I'm thinking it's old enough that the copyright might have run out, so maybe someone just scanned a hard copy and is selling it?

I haven't had much need for their stuff in some time, now that I run a newer tractor, but place in Fultonville, NY used to carry all sorts of things like that, and might be worth a call or an email:
