I need manual help...again guys. For a Gilson this time.

Well GTtalk still don't like me anymore I guess.
It has refused to let me download manuals for over a year now.
This time I need manuals for a 1972 (I believe) (Gilson) Wards Hydrostatic 15 tractor.
I believe it should be the same as a Gilson S 15 Hydrostatic tractor.
Last time some of the crew here who can still download manuals there gave me a hand.
I need parts,repair,owner, whatever manuals that I can get.
Thanks for any help tractor folk.

Here's the 1972 Parts list and an Owners Manual:

Thank you bunches Kenny.
On another note. I wonder what the factory recommended procedure is for taking the drive shaft out and putting it in.

 

[KennyP]

That I cannot answer positively. From the parts list, it looks like you would take the bolts out and hope it pulls out. May have to unbolt the engine to move it forward a tad.

It's tight for sure Kenny.
I had to take it out to put a starter belt on. It was tough getting it out and going back in is as tough.
The rubber couplers along with a stub shaft on both each end of the driveshaft and on the trans coupler and engine coupler make it very tough. Thanks again Kenny.
