Allis Chalmers 190 and 190 XT Tractors 

My Dad had a 64 One Ninety & pulled a 5-14" A C plow or a 15' Keewany diskharrow! He had a ruptured disk in his back, but was able to do field work when other work became impossible because of his back! The BIG fuel tank gave him more than he needed for a days work! ONLY once do I remember, on a very COLD winter day, that he couldn't get it started❗

I had a 1972 190xt and absolutely loved that tractor.

One of my first jobs was at the Allis Chalmers warehouse in Chamblee GA. in the early 80's. We stocked all kinds of promotional stuff for the dealers. Made for great reading back in the day! Good job on the video!

Loved that one, as I have both a one ninety and a one ninety XT. I have probably baled 15,000 big round bales with my XT over about 20 years time. First round baler I had behind it didn't have a good bale kicker, so many times, I had to back up before kicking the bale out. When it was warmed up good, and if I shifted fast, I could go between forward and reverse without stepping on the clutch and stopping the PTO; just with the power director in neutral. I have a net wrap baler now, so it's not as big of a deal, but back when I had twine tie, and it took a while to wrap a bale, it was nice to just have the power director in neutral and not have to sit there with my foot on the clutch while it was tying. Thanks for talking up a tractor that I love, but is bashed by many.

Great Overview of the AC 190 and AC 190XT Ryan!

Dad had an AC 210 (or was it a 220 - I don't remember) and that was a nice tractor. It wasn't the big field tractor but we used it for the lighter field work such as harrowing, planting, etc. Other than the AC needed to be recharged every couple years he never had a trouble with it. For the field tractor Dad had D-21 for many years and traded it in on an AC 7060. All good tractors.

I worked for a farm that bought a brand new MF 178 to pull a IH 14" 5 bottom, was disappointed, went to an auction and bought a 190XT , didn't even know it had a set of plows behind it! Still going today! loved to D 17! 1969-72

Thank you Sir for posting. Really enjoyed your excellent content.

Just picked up a 190 XT hopefully it ends up being a good tractor but it definitely needs a little bit of TLC

Nice video Ryan

Had one of each. Our 190 had the standard PTO and a Snap Coupler, which allowed it to pull the disk that we had for our WD-45. Our 190 XT had the independent PTO and a 3-point hitch, which matched our later tractors.

93 HP if the fuel filters were plugged

My Dad bought a new 190xt in 1969!! Only problem was it ran hot if you pulled it !! Ran it for several years.

Dad bought a 190D pretty early. The serial number was a bunch of zeros and a 3. I had an XT. I also had a 210 and a 200.

Nice video. I'm a Case guy, but very interesting content 👍

You mention the LP version, I know a gentleman that has one, with snap-coupler hitch and belt pulley! Let's say he has some other 'interesting Orange stuff'!

My father was at a sale and it was a really nice 190, he thought he could always use a little more horsepower on the farm in the tractors didn't seem to be selling really high so he stepped in and started the bid on it, then someone stepped out of the way and he noticed the carburetor hanging on the side of it, he quit bidding and hope somebody else would step in, and they did LOL, but I always like the 190s and 190 XT just make sure they're a diesel😅😅

back in the 70's my father bought a new 190xt we loved the tractor until 8 months later all hydraulics and drive went out dealer warranty had fixed and fine for about 6 months and repeat 3 months later repeat. We finally bit the bullet and took it to our local JD dealer and had them repair (We were friends with owner) 190 went strong for many years after that so that shows either Allis dealer didn't care or not trained properly we never bought another even though we loved the tractors!

I was introduced to a WD 45 The morning I went to Drive One home in the Early spring, that my Dad had purchased from a Neighbor..... who went from Farming to running a Gas station.... With it came an 22-22in disk Big K offset..... With The Traction Booster hitch.... At the head lands you turned left, the disk just rolled on top of the soil, the Lift arms would go down.... but when you straighten out down the field on the next pass, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE,, the governor threw the engine WIDE open, -- both drive tires started spinning the lift arms started applying the Traction, the front end got light and ---- in the blink of an eye--- down the field she went....putting all 3rd gear could deliver....to the ground....... didn't have to use no T.A. or Multi-power.... just hold on..... She l lasted until 1986 when the block cracked between the cylinders and we parked it..... My Son gave it to a neighbor, I imagine it is still parked on his Heirs property......
