Hey guys, this might be a pointless post but seeing as I don't have any tractor friends in real life I just had to vent to some people who understand my orange fever, I went a looked at a 190xt last night a buddy who is a equipment jockey( and bleeds green) picked up, he put a head gasket in it and that's about it, it's got 3000 hours on it, paint is faded but she is straight as an arrow, all gauges and lights work etc dent free grill with emblems. The older gentlemen he got it from just stoped farming with it this year and has been well maintained. So I picked it up and let's just say I got the friend price. He is about to deliver it here soon as I type this and I just can't help but be like a kid on Christmas morning. The price was right and I wanted a factory 3 point as I have a aftermarket on the D17. This is the first tractor of this size I have ever been around, so I guess I'm just looking for experiences, do's and don'ts. Really anything you want to say about a 190xt a newbie should know.

Thanks! I will get pics up after work tomarrow! Taylor

XT 190s are great tractors, probably one of my favorites. Sounds like you've already bought it but a couple things to watch out for on 190s, 1. Trans jumping out of gear, 2. Power director operation, 3. Rear ends weak on early models. All of these can be costly repairs other than that they are very nice tractors to operate. Good luck and enjoy your new orange.

If it's a diesel, you are going to love the fuel efficiency of it. If you plan on doing much PTO work with it, get used to using the power director clutch. I have a one-ninety gas and an XT diesel and love em both. Good luck with it! Darrel

Well i just came in from driving it around a bit, i am struggling to figure out the PD High and Low seem to work, but i don't understand what the point of pushing the stick down is? how do i lock it into high or low? I was thinking it was like the D17 and have a positive snap too it but the lever seems to return to N, but i do have a positive engagement of High or Low when i push the stick, the lever just doesn't stay. 
Besides that the only thing i noticed in my brisk 15-20 min running around the barn yard/ letting her run and checking her over with a light was the amp gauge goes up to 40+ when above half throttle, the shaft with the "on/off" cable on the IP leaks, the tilt steering doesn't hold(which isn't that big a deal as im a short and small guy)
She fires right up and seems to run nice, smoother than the 17 gasser.

I figure if i need to put a chunk of money into the IP i will still make off alright...if its a O Ring or something like that even better Wink
Heck its even got a full tank of diesel.

Thanks, Taylor

Edit, also, is it correct to have a key and a push button for the starter? Or a mask to cover up an issue?

Squirt some oil down at the base of the Power Director lever. It has to come "up" to be able to lock in low-neutral-high. Maybe the spring is broken ? I doubt it.

The push button is standard on the diesels that I know of. If you take the key to the right into the spring loaded section of the switch, you ought to hear a relay click and that ought to be the intake manifold heater that is a cold starting aid. Do not use it conjunction with ether as an explosion in the manifold is likely when the ether hits the glowing element on this electric that looks like a spark plug screwed into the intake manifold. I'm sure you will like the 190. I totally enjoy every feature on mine, and it is the best tractor made to over the front. The Hydraulics beat most from that vintage if the pump is good, steers good brakes good. Just a fine machine. try to talk to the man who owned it before, he will be glad to know someone like you got it. Buy a manual and read it. Do not grind the gears when shifting. Sounds like some WD 40 on some of the linkage might help too.rw

Mine had a voltage regulator stuck when it did that kind of crazy over charging. I put an electronic Voltage Regulator about the size of a small match box on the alternator and as a bonus it turns the field coil off when the alt stops turning so no more dead battery if I forget to turn off the key when I kill the fuel. The oil pressure light comes on generally after I had dismounted the tractor, but it takes it a while to run the batteries down. And as an edit I should have said to SEE over the front.rw

Bushings on the linkage below your right foot and into the outside of the tranny case; when they are worn, they keep the PD from engaging fully and staying engaged. Cheap fix, just takes a bit of time as the "cup" type bushing can be a stinker at the tranny housing. Sounds like it is currently engaging but you have to hold the handle in-place for high and low right?
With tractor off, push the PD handle to the low side while standing on the right side of tractor and looking at the linkage. You should be able to see that the worn linkage bushings are not allowing full engagement. Push the piston rod the last little bit and she will be fully engaged and stay engaged. AGCO has bushings, I picked up mine from Sandy Lake and she "snaps" like new now.
