Steve The AC 180/185 had the AC 301(2800)engine. They handled pretty good but where slow on the road. The power director on them was a short lever on the right side of the dash. It had real strong detents. It was real hard to start smoothly. My wife refused to drive it after the first few times she ran it on the square baler. She threw me off the top of a full wagon load of hay because of how that power director worked.
The AC 170/175 has the long lever like the D series did. The larger AC 190 had a longer lever on the side console. Both of these worked fairly good.
The big issue is you still basically had/have a hand clutch while doing PTO work. Not the nicest setup on a fairly modern tractor.
I only kept the AC 180 I had for six months or so. I traded it to a local AC dealer even up for a Oliver 1655. That tractor worked much better for hay chores than the AC 180.
