Where to buy a manual?

[LonePine]

Hello guys, I just bought my first skid. A 1987 bobcat 642b. its in fair shape but I need manuals for it so I dont have to ask a bunch of stupid questions. Where would you recommend getting a manual? I read reviews and alot are black and white copy, people comment that the hydraulic flow is needs to be color? Thanks for any input.

There aren't any for that model in the manual thread, so probably a google search for it will bring up some, possibly even some legitimate ones.
There seems to be a few of them on Pinterest, although I haven't figured out how to get them yet.

Here's the most basic of items. The parts book. At least you know the names and can talk without using the word "thingy". https://www.bobcatpartsonline.com/#/catalogBrowser?path=%2F0000-Loaders%2F0000-642%2F0001-504025001%20%26%20Above%2F0007-Power%20Unit%2F0002-Engine%20%26%20Attaching%20Parts
