Labor guide?

Not sure if this is the group to post this in, but working on an old 4840 tractor. We are a general repair shop but we work on farm equipment all the time. We are trying to quote out a PTO rebuild on the tractor and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to find a labor guide. I found paper back books but they are weeks out. Does anyone know where to find labor times on these? I’ll pay for a subscription like all data if one exists for John Deere. Thank you!
