You'll never find the manual by going out and looking under "DLT3000". You need to lift the seat and write down the code beneath - it will be something like 973.2345124 or 970.; these are the actual model numbers of your tractor. With these numbers, you can go on Sears website and download the manual, or go to any number of other "manual server" sites; just keep in mind that you should be able to get a free .pdf copy of your manual. I can't remember the site offhand where I went (other computer), but I seem to think it had a link to Sears.
