Try a google search for Sears parts...they have parts, manuals, etc for just about anything. Maybe they have the manual for your bandsaw.

A quick search with Google found this:

Busy Bee Tools Product Manuals

There are three different bandsaw manuals here - none appears to be yours, but maybe one is similar enough...

Here is another site that has even more - is the CT103N similar to yours?
