Help! Help! I'm a Model A guy (40B & 160B) so I'm way lost over here.

I'm looking for an Owner's Manual for a 1925 T. All I see in the reprints from the parts vendors is a 1915-1925 booklet. Did Ford use the same one with no revisions for ten years? Hardly seems possible. I'd like to find a correct as possible 1925 reprint, or an original if it isn't missing pieces or pages. Please educate me. Thanks.

I won't take time to research what all the vendors have, but Bruce McCalley's Model T Encyclopedia on disk has the complete owner's manuals for 1909, 1909-1910, 1911 early, 1911 late, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915-1916, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1924, 1926, & 1927. From this I would guess that the 1922 manual was continued for 1923, and that the 1924 manual was continued for 1925. Somebody who knows better can correct that if I'm wrong.

As I said, I have no idea what's being reprinted, but the manuals included with the encyclopedia are good quality PDF's you can print out. So much information is included in the encyclopedia package that it's on two disks. For anybody with a Model T interest, it's fifty bucks well spent. The info on it is here:

Thanks fellas. The .pdf was really helpful. Now I know exactly what I'm looking for in hard copy. The hunt begins. I just recently found the correct original manual for my late '31 Model A. This is for a friend who has had his '25 T since the '50s. The bottom of the last page will say: Ford Form 1939 200M 12-1-24 With 200,000 printed, it won't be like looking for a needle in a haystack. More like looking for a beige finishing nail!
