You're kidding.
There is an organization out there using untrained officials as referees? And only 1 on the field? I don't even know where to start.
First - don't work alone. It can't be done.
Second - find a rulebook and learn it.
Third - ask your LEAGUE what equipment they require - if they are just throwing random people on the field and calling them officials, they may not require much.
Fourth, if you need equipment, check out any number of officiating equipment companies (honigs dot com for example), and see what they have. You can probably get a good idea of what you need from looking at what's available.
Two man mechanics? We do it with one HL (on the side with the chains, lined up on the line of scrimmage) and one R (lined up on the opposite side, but in the backfield. I've seen it done with no R and an L (opposite HL, on the line of scrimmage), but you miss a lot of holds and can't protect the QB.
