I spenr a really long time on those 190xts using a 21ft Krause offset on wheat stubble at night. Ours had the biggest rubber you could put on it and lots of front and wheel weights to hold it down to the ground. Most comfortable tractor i ever ran. Good memories
Dad traded in his D 17 AC gasoline burner for this XT190 Diesel. What I didn't learn on the D 17, I learned on this one after dad traded for it. This was a very fine tractor indeed. 6 row implements were pulled well, but the 6 row planter for this tractor was really too heavy for this one. Dad like the Birch brand planter better. Seeing this brings back memories. I've spent many a day in the seat of one of these from just after breakfast till sun down. So love hearing her start up again. I didn't want to follow in my dad's footsteps and also be a farmer. Still so good to look over these. Memories.
I spent a couple thousand hours in one of those! Pulled a 6x14” plow in EC IL where we had a good bit of Drummer soils. Naturally, the pump was turned up a bit! 7 point nitrogen bar. Hinson cab. I moved the air filter can out from in front of the radiator and to the side which helped with cooling a bunch.
I have a long history with Allis Chalmers. Our first was a WD45 gas, tricycle bought in ‘54. Then in ‘55, when I was 9, Dad bought a WD45 diesel wide front, 4x14” semimonted plow. Then came a pair of D-17 diesels, wide front, that were one serial number apart, one ordered in the fall the other ordered for the next spring. Then a 190 that had a serial number indicating it was the second one built. Then in about ‘69 I bought the XT. Later came a 200 for the nicer cab mainly. Then a 210 til ‘77. Then I went Green!
David Browns were the only tractors I had ever come across with a pull out to run control, I also had an International 955 where pulling the control out past the stop position gave an excess fuel position for cold starting.
I worked in the West Allis tractor plant in 1968 as a Co-op Work-Study Student from the University of Minnesota. I believe someone must have added the "Landhandler" decal to this unit as that marketing campaign came in following years. Nice tractor after 52 years!
Mine is series 1 with an updated series iii rearend. I like the big fenders of the older model, they dont look as cool, but are much better at fendering.
I think the unofficial Series II came out in 1966. That's when Allis came with the larger axles and several other changes but the bar grill and sloped fenders were still in use and then switched to the newer grill and fenders but were still an unofficial Series II. Don't quote me on that :) BTW the 190 series is just about my favorite tractor...... except when I'm driving a nice WD45.
Worked on a farm in the mid 70's and used a 190xt. Fell in love and can still hear that turbo spool to this day. Would love to own one now!

Beautiful machine. I’m a fan of old Allis tractors.

Dad traded in his D19 on a 190XT LP. That was my favorite tractor of all time.

Mint looking 190.
