Best source of info is a manufacturer's shop manual if you can get your hands on one.
Whenever I purchased a used piece of equipment always asked for service records and manuals, sometimes you get lucky and find that the company also had an inventory of new parts for those needing regular replacement.

After buying my caterpillar D4D purchased a manual from Finning that set me back a couple of hundred bucks, that manual saved me a fortune when it came time to do repairs.
