Plenty of service manuals on ebay.
Changing your track is a piece of cake. Remove the rear suspention, drive chain and sprocket, unbolt the drive axle bearing housings and remove the drive axle, then remove the track. This is also a good time to replace the drive axle bearings.
Do the steps in reverse to install the new track and re set track tension.

I dont think the manual mentions this but a squirt of penetrating oil on all the screws that are going to be removed (a day or two in advance) could help the job to go alittle easier. Might want to also think about flipping the drivers over if they are worn. Just a heads up.
