Swinger 100, oldie but goodie, how to operate, owners manual?

So, Im not exactly new to the site because Ive been scouting this forum before until finally decided to register and make a post today.

I recently picked up an older swinger 100 made around the early 80s. It runs but seems to lack some obvious power (when driving). Engine is a continental (gas). I like the articulation and how easy it is to maneuver that thing around. Before I start tearing it apart, I was hoping to find a parts manual as well as an operating manual. Google doesn't return many results and Ill be contacting swinger about trying to get more info. If anyone has any leads on this oldie, then please pm or post. If you have any info on how to obtain a manual, please let me know, as well as any upgrades you've done, or anything you might want share with a new swinger owner.

Considering you posted in 2013 and no one has answered you yet, im assuming you got the info you wanted. I am also a new singer 100 owner with the same engine. Where did you find the best info for it. I am actually looking to purchase a universal attachment plate for mine. I am looking to fashion it with a brush/log grapple and don't want to have to modify the plate to fit the machine. I was wondering if you had a similar set up and if so, where you purchased it from. I cannot find to much info on the swinger 100 and have actually had the best luck on a site called beesource. Its a forum like this for bee keepers, apparently they like to use the swingers to move their hives around. Loading and unloading. If you have any info, sources or contacts that you would like to share, I would appreciate them a lot. I had gotten an owners manual and service manual when I bought the unit. I have found many service manuals online, ebay had the most. Thanks for your help.
