everyone, thanks for all the help so far.

still shopping for a tractor for hobby farm; drilling tree holes, tilling, mowing, snow removal

Allis D-14 a good option? price is $3750 asking.

other leading options are fordson diesels for about $700 - 1000 less.
 
What you want is something with a good 3 pt. hitch and live PTO. Most MF's and Fords will have this as well as good parts support. The 3 pt. hitch allows you to hook up dozens of different attachments for all kinds of jobs typical on a hobby farm. Do you have a budget in mind or just going for the cheapest you can find? Most times it's better to spend a little more and get what will work the best for you. You don't save any money if you have to upgrade your tractor a short time later. Dave
 
D17 would be a good option- in between size of those you"ve mentioned...fewer transmission or rear end problems (early 190XT had rear end problems, not transmission- any tranny fails with gear grinders). PTO and hyd are live, not independent- many here do not seem to know the difference. More units out there, easy to find parts. Stay away from the diesel if you want reliability. On a hobby farm, total fuel use is not an issue.
 
Price is way high for a d-14, unless it was pristine. Always check D series Allis for 3rd gear popping out, when you crest a hill. A d-14 is a better tractor than any fordson made. Snap coupler equipment is much easier to connect than 3ph, and AC also made a good adapter to switch over to 3ph. Too bad the factory 3ph set up on some of the small AC's was lacking. A good D-14 around here would go for $2500, or so.
