Welcome to the Stovebolt, Mark. You are quite lucky as there are many parts from 47-54 that are interchangeable. A shop manual is great and a nice additional book is the FAM which is the Factory Assembly Manual for 47-54. I think they are both about $25-30 each.
In the meantime a fellow bolter has been working on a Online Manual that is great but its nice to have your own copy to read.

We're all here to help. So let us know what you need. Take your time and learn the bolt. There is a LOT of knowledge here. Tech tips, gallery, links, and the list goes on and on. OH...be sure to post a picture when you can. Instructions are at the bottom left of this page.
