Allis Chalmers 👍👍👍

My stepdad was all Deere but his beloved 190 XT My neighbor growing up was all Alis and my last tractor was a 9655 AGCO Alice

I did enjoy this video. We have a 2520, and a 3020 still in use. A neighbor within 5 miles of us has 2 4020's still in use as well as a 3010 and the mighty 4430. Cool video, thanks!

My 2520 still works on this farm. I feature it in several of my videos on my KZbin channel Tube channel. The 2520 came into existence in the muscle tractor era. It was too small to be a big tractor and too big to be a small tractor. It just never filled a niche for the market at that place in time.

I have a 1970 2520 diesel!

Hello From Central Kentucky. When I was a kid growing up in the 1970s, A very well known horse farm had 2,1020 John Deere tractors with side mounted sickle bar mowers as well as a 2520 John Deere tractor that was used with a Woods C-80 mower for mowing. All 3 of these John Deere tractors were ordered with the “Orchard Exhaust” which looked very similar to the exhaust system that was on an 8N Ford tractor. The 2520 was also used for plowing the ground for the tobacco crop with either a 2 or 3 bottom John Deere plow as well as a John Deere dual gang disc with the hydraulic lift and or depth control using the hydraulic control along with the 2 tires on the disc. Because of the ground clearance of the 2520 John Deere, It was very suitable for the multi row tobacco setter although the orchard exhaust was not friendly to the people riding on the tobacco setter because of the exhaust fumes. This 2520 John Deere had the narrow front wheel configuration with the RollAMatic feature from what I remember Those John Deere tractors of that period of time were very nice to operate if you could afford the associated costs of keeping them maintained.

My brother owned Allis Chalmers from the earlier years. Nice tractors. The 190 was featured at the Orange Spectacular back in July. Subscribed because I'm a sucker for old tractors.

The 20 series is still the pinnicle of JD tractors, at least as far as the non 2-cylinders go. The 30 series was that for the 2 bangers. IMHO.

Good video. Thank you.

Thank you...very well done. I have a 40 and what you say is true....they can still do the Job 70 years later!!!

First gen without cab lights TW15 not it didn't have cab lights to see easy at night but when pulling 18t chaser bin as it get half full you have down shift which if comjine operator isnt paying attention you get grain overboard. Series 3 was better model all round.

I appreciate what you're doing with your channel but I don't think you've done your homework when you claim that the 190xt was the top of its class in pulling power. If we go by Nebraska tests the 806D out pulled and grossly out lugged the 190xtD even though more ballast was added to the XT. The 856 as well as the 1850 Oliver beat it by a wider margin. The 806 also beat it with no ballast added. I'd say it's on the lower end of its class in performance. Even the Allis guys I've talked to don't believe they made a truly great muscle tractor until the 220

I Love it

Erica Wells here, this is mine and my husbands tractor! I’m so happy I came across this video, these are awesome pictures!! Would you mind me sharing some of them? I’m so happy it brought you joy. My husband needed a bigger tractor for our farm, and came across this beauty. For a month or two he was so undecided, finally I told him he needed to make the drive to Ohio and bring this beauty home. From our understanding (and we could be wrong) the original owner who did this paint job used the tractor for parades before he sadly passed away. It changed hands a couple times, and was going to be used as a pulling tractor at some point but plans changed. Now that we own it, it’s used for baling hay, to be in a parade/tractor show here and there, and to be shown off at the Alexander steam show for others to enjoy!

I'm not sure how many 826 gas hydros were actually made but pretty sure less than 100! That is one rare tractor. A good friend of mine has a beautifully restored one here in Iowa.

If you are going to narrate, make sure you have your mic where it picks up your voice.

Hurry up!!!!!!!!

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😅😅

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❗

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

I saw this in Steiner literature a while back and thought it was photoshopped. Holy crap it isn't! Looks really cool and even better working. I'm glad someone is brave or crazy enough to work it. I would never want to own such a thing. Every maintenance job would become a terrible burden! The Steiner photo was submitted by a certain Erica Wells of East Bethany.

Great video its nice seeing what my 1977 2-105 would have looked like new

I’ve got a David brown 990. My aunt bought it somewhere along the line of 1978 to the 80s. Work clothes are pretty dirty but still runs like a top. On the shifters, there’s a rubber boot at the bottom to guard the transmission from water and such, and one time those boots had rotted completely off so my grandpa went to go start it up in the winter, and there was 5 gallons of ice in the transmission. That’s the only thing that we absolutely hate about the Davin brown. Another thing is that it likes to drink oil so every time you’re going down the road with it at high speed the oil splashes into the cylinder.

Bought farm back 80s Hadden been plow for 20yr hire custom guy who had a 1586 with a 8 bottom.he did 4 round and put range gear out it had bring in 2590 case fto finish job

These things were only legendary because of their cabs. My great grandpa bought a 1086 in the 80s and he hated it, he only used it for snow blowing. It was supposed to put the 806 into retirement (the one I’ve told you about before) but he hated it so much it just blew snow. And the 806 still pulled the combine.

I enjoy your videos and I'm wondering could you do a video on the 1969 John Deere 4520 please keep up the good videos

should do the 50 series john deere

Have one it's the best 👌

Between me and my brother we have three four eight thousands and one 5,000 & two 4000

This is the first of your videos the KZbin algorithm has recommended to me. I will try a bit more before I turn you off in case this one is an anomaly. Your content is quite interesting. I would enjoy more and perhaps subscribe if the presentation were just a bit better and I think improvements could be easily implemented. I dug a little deeper and it seems you are fairly new to KZbin. Please accept my criticisms in the spirit in which they are intended. I'm bothered by the way the first word(s) in each new frame are somehow much louder. It's very noticeable. Do you unconsciously move nearer your microphone or is it something else? There's no need for the background music when you're narrating. It's a distraction and totally unnecessary.

❤ the blue ones from that era!! Sharp n comfortable . Liked the foot throttle

The 1466 is way better then then the 68’s as the truck engines were only built for speed the 66’ engines were built for power and torque. The reason why they weren’t as popular is because farmers hated them, they couldn’t pull a big plow because of the lower torque and they guzzled diesel like crazy while doing nothing but idling. Most farmers either replaced the engines or they literally, took a brand new tractor, and threw it in the fence row.

We’re still running a 72’ Ford 8000 on our farm. Still a hoss of a tractor pulling a 5 bottom plow when we need to.

Remember these well growing up in the '60's and '70's! I always wanted one and thought Ford did an excellent job on their advertising! My neighbors had Olivers and Internationals comparable to that horsepower! They were a great looking tractor, imo. as well! There was a nice one with a 5000? at the Old Southeast Threshers Reunion at Denton Farm Park here in N.C.

Dad bought the 8000 in 1985 absolutely excellent tractor,my farm tractor test book says 12.69 HP hr/gal though great video thanks for sharing

My dad had one when I was young it did pull really good it acted like it had more horsepower than advertised and those 6.6 Ford engines lived on for a lot of years and other New Holland equipment and Ford medium duty trucks and tractors I remember you could hear that engine fan and tractor scream at night from far away we had a heavy duty 14 ft offset disc and it pulled it pretty good and a heavy duty three bottom oliver rollover plow we used in our hard Arizona ground it seem like I did better than our 986 but our 986 might have been more worn out too I know the neighbor had a 4240 John Deere and that could barely pull our plow and the tractor was in real good shape our tractor had a rops and a canopy 18.4-38 rear tires 10.00-16 fronts and was fully weighted front and rear with water all the way around without the front weights the plow would lift the front of the tractor off the ground as a kid riding on it I'll never forget the fiberglass fenders or a triangle flame coming out of the exhaust pipe at night when pulling hard .

Back about 1970/71,may dad had a ranch here in central Texas,Another rancher he knew had one,To A 10 year old kid it was the coolest thing I ever seen,I remember being about 10 or 11 riding on it while my brother about 16 years old was driving it taking A huge trailer load of hay from the man that owed it to my dads ranch down the road.I also remember it having A boom shaker to thrash our pecan trees.

I absolutely love these videos the way you format it. It just takes me back to the '60s and '70s. It's like watching. Cheers and learning tractor history. Thanks!

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.

Always Enjoy These Videos 😊😊😊

I’m from Manitoba, and me and my dad own an old 1947 John Deere D that runs like it’s new. An old Ukrainian farmer gave it to my great grandfather back in the 60s before he passed, and my great gpa gave it to me and dad before he did. Great tractors.

I love your videos and your comments. It reminds me of cliff on. Cheers talking about tractors. Thanks!

93 HP if the fuel filters were plugged

185 is one of the best Allis ever built! Absolutely love mine. When I was young, Dad was negotiating on a 175, his buddy was pushing him toward a 185. Well, he bought the smaller tractor, cost savings I'm sure. Years later after the 175 had been traded for a 6080 he decide he needed something with a cab. Found a really nice 185. That was great until he tried bailing big rounds with no A/C. That tractor got traded for a turd, in my mind, a 4230 JD. Some years later he found another 185, the one his buddy had owned and bought it. Dad's gone now and that 185 aint going nowhere!

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'!

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!

My Dad was a dealer. 1100. 1105. 1130. 1135 were probably the best series built by MF. Can get over 10,000 hours of service from many of them.

Grew up with Massey Harris tractors. By the time I was ready to buy tractors MF dealers were few and far between. The main tractor brands in our area was Int (3 dealers) and JD (2 dealers).AC was next most prevelant.

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
