(In response to someone running down the 190XT by saying they had terrible steering and hydraulics and fuel consumption.)
Nothing comes close to a 190XT in that era. Yours must have been a lemmon. we've used a 190XT Series III Landhandler (love that name) for years with no big issues. Has over 6300 hrs now. Also have a straight 190 with 3500 hrs and again no major repairs as yet. Love the hydraulics though the 7050 has even better and neither are hard to steer. Love the tilt steering, large platform, remote 3 point control (no one had that then), the never fail Power Director, and torque rise that is unmatched in hp class for it's time. Look it up. Early model did have their rear end troubles but during the 2nd year of production (1966) the 190XT got the heavy rear end. great nimble yet hard working horses. Too bad AGCO wrecked the company.
