Hey I was just looking for a manual for my tractor where might I be able to get one

Try looking at Sears on line, Craftsman model # and search. Many of their manuals are there.

HI,
Is this what would be termed a "vintage" machine? I ask this since you have a 5 digit model number. The 917 is the vendor number - in this case AYP. The 25120 is the model and you have to go backe to the early 60s or late 50s to find one usually.
Peace,
Clarke
