Can anyone recommend a good repair / maintenance book for garden

I'd think any such would need to be pretty specific to a particular
machine, since there are a lot of ways of accomplishing the basic
propulsion of the tines.

Unless you mean general small engine maintenance.

My main experience in this area has been in replacing worn oil seals,
followed by replacing mangled gears after improperly re-mounting the new
oil seals. There's nothing smellier and oilier than gear oil!

Compared to the ice storm in progress, even that sounds appealing.
(In the northeastern American colonies).
