J D Lawn Tractor Manual

[scaredychicken]

I have the older JD 160 lawn tractor from 1986 - 1988, (not the LT160 lawn tractor from 2002-2005)
Mine is a 1988

I found a manual that is for sale, and I think it is the correct one, but I'm not sure. The manual cover says 1986 (probably written in 1985)

my question is that all of the models covered in the manual were manufactured subsequently, so will this manual be the one (for my 1988 model year), or should I find a later re-printing ? I don't NEED it, but thought it would be handy. Not sure if the manual can still be ordered from John Deere. Condition looks FAIR at best, so for $20 and shipping (another $20 ?) I'm considering it. Thoughts ?

JD 130, 160, 165 produced between 1986-88
JD 180, 185 produced between 1986-90

Looks like the OM is still available from Deere for free down load or for purchase in paper or CD.

thank you jaydee325, that's what I was thinking also, but I haven't looked for it yet. I think $40 total, is a bit steep. I like the hard copies paper version, so we'll see.
