Eldon likes to insult people on here and say things that he would never say to their face because it's easy to hide behind a computer screen.

And I do know how to run one properly Eldon. I just don't care to run one when there are much better options out there. And having owned one and used it, and been fortunate enough to have both the money and knowledge to get rid of it for a better tractor makes me very happy. It also makes me happy to point out the many short comings of the AC tractors built from the late 50's through the early 70's and possibly keep someone from making an expensive mistake. Ever been in the tranny on a 190XT series III? Then get inside the tranny of a similar sized IH tractor from the same year. No wonder they were known for tranny issues too.

AC it those days went after the customer who either couldn't afford a JD or IH or were just too cheap to buy something more advanced and were willing to tolerate a substandard (yes, substandard, everyone else had gone to IPTO by then so the PD live PTO was outdated and substandard).

Heck I was very excited about getting a Series III 190XT. Then after owning it for a couple of years and finding out just how many corners AC cut just to make a sale and how ridiculous the live PTO system was compared to IPTO, offered on JD as early as 1949, IH in 1955, Case in 1960 and even MF in the early 60's yet AC didn't offer IPTO on a tractor built in 1971? Heck Cat beat AC to the punch with the first AG crawler being offered with a Turbo before the D series was even introduced. And a turbo was nothing new, it was a cheap way to get more power out of an engine. So you could build an engine for one tractor, turbo it up and make a larger tractor without the expense of designing and building another engine.

Little knowledge goes a long way. Much further than uninformed insults.
