Probably about 2/3 of the manuals I have on file came off links from forums like this one.
When companies close, so do their web pages, but the files remain there so can be found using things like Wayback .
However once the drives on the servers are replaced usually the information is gone .
Then there are dealer only sites & after market parts supplier sites and dedicated specialist groups like the Murray Owners Group that have just about every one of the pre-Briggs Murray manuals in their archive.
When I see a shop advertising a closing down sale I hot foot it to them to see what paper I can get my hands on before they toss them into the burnables skip bin.
So don't feel bad about not finding stuff on line and thank your lucky start there are people around who are happy to share.
