Don't hold your breath.
Neither Husqvarna nor Murray produced service manuals.
Your mower has a 917 model number
The 917 codes out to Roper being the supplier
Roper had all of their mowers made by American Yard Products, a factory that Husqvarna Outdoor bought in the 90's when they split off from Sunbeam.
AYP never published any manuals because they were just the factory and did not own the IP for the mowers they made, that belongs to the individual brand names .
A poor service manual will go to better than 100 pages
a good one ( like JD ) will run to 500 pages
40 pages is an owners manual .
Some Craftsman owner manuals also had parts manuals included .Which will go 60 to 80 pages
I rather think this is what Mindbende has a copy of and has mistaken it for a proper service manual
