Here's a link to some manuals

What exactly are you looking for? The engine was an 8hp B&S, that should be easy to find a manual on. As for parts for the tractor, that might be tougher. Things like bearings and wheels and tires should be easy enough. Have you checked yahoo groups to see if there is a group dedicated to the ridemaster? There probably is.

OK I found a yahoo group for ridemasters. BUT PLEASE!! come back here and share the stories of your ridemaster with us as well as any restoration you may be planning. We would also love to see some pics! No matter what the condition.

Interesting looking machine! It looks like ergonomics was unheard of back then, but the tractor is probably built 5 times stronger than what is available today.
