HOLY COW. That is about the best looking unrestored 190XT I've ever seen. I always loved the look of the hundred series tractors and one day I hope to have a few myself.
It is unrestored right? I said that because of the rust on the rear wheel. Even if it has been restored it is a very pretty tractor. CONGRATS

Thanks 37. It was repainted in 90 or 91. Not really restored. The guy who I bought it from can lay down a pretty good paint job by looking at his olivers in the shop. The hood fenders grille are really straight. He said it was starting to surface rust when he bought it so he painted it. I still can't believe I own one! It stalled on me three times on the way home (9miles). Took the sediment bowls off and no fuel would gravity feed through them. Removed bowl heads drained tank reinstalled and it runs great. However now I can't get the bowls to stop dripping. Very slow drip but it drives me crazy. Now I just need a snow blower.

Thanks guys. I've always wanted to be able to post a pic of my own tractor. I always enjoy viewing others photos of "new" tractor and tractor projects. I'm glad I got one that is in good shape.
Auntwayne- I hope the gaskets are the problem but they looked good. No local dealers anywhere close but I'm sure I can find some. I haven't had time to crawl under there and check it out real close.
P.S. Yes there is a sister and no I don't think that you would be interested.
