SAME, short for Societa Accomandita Motori Endotermici, was founded in Treviglio, Italy, in 1942 by brothers Francesco and Eugenio Cassani, building on Francesco's earlier tractor experiments. The company later grew into a wider group of tractor brands and is today part of SDF, which also owns other well-known European tractor marques.

SAME is famous for air-cooled diesel engines, a tradition that shaped its early all-wheel-drive diesel tractors, and for robust machines well suited to steep and difficult terrain. Air cooling and full four-wheel drive became signatures that set SAME apart in the European tractor market. The range extends from compact utility tractors to larger models for arable farming, all sharing the group's practical, serviceable design approach.

Workshop manuals for SAME tractors cover the air-cooled diesel engine, fuel injection systems, transmissions and rear axles, four-wheel-drive front axles, hydraulics, electrical wiring diagrams, torque specifications, diagnostics and scheduled maintenance for each model. The material also covers the cooling shrouds and airflow systems that keep air-cooled engines at the right temperature, along with the belt and pulley drives fitted to them.

Farmers, contractors, tractor workshops and restorers of vintage SAME tractors will find factory service manuals essential for correct repairs, proper settings and dependable long-term operation. Original documentation helps owners maintain these distinctive tractors correctly, preserving both their value and their working capability. The manuals are organised by model so owners can find data for both current and vintage machines quickly.
