190xt transmission dilemma

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a gas 190XT, snap coupler. I prefer snap coupler, and since everything I have is gas, I prefer gas. I also like the sound of it running better. It also doesn't have the weird horse door cab where the one door opens in and the top opens out. 

I have a 190XT diesel. 3pt. Recently "overhauled" (don't know exactly what) engine. It has the factory cab with the dorky doors. 

However. The diesel doesn't jump any gears. Goes in hard and solid and stays. The gas jumps out of second. Up hill, down hill, load, no load. With a bungie cord hooked up right it's mitigated. 

I put maybe 150 hours on all tractors combined a year. And I do like mechanical work. I'm slowly building up and this is the tractor that'll be growing with me. So the question is:

Do I go with the diesel and swap all the snap coupler stuff over? Do I try to swap the transmissions and hitches so the gas has the best of it all? Do I calibrate my bungee cord and wait for a transmission rebuild?

1st, 3rd, 4th, reverse all work fine. And I do really prefer the gas over the diesel. 

This is far planning, just changes whether I sell the extra tractor now, or hold on or swap.

	If I were you I'd keep both and fix the tranny in the gas tractor. Can't imagine getting rid of a good running 190 D.

	Those 190 diesels seem to be desirable. I would keep both in their original state. I would like one myself but unfortunately have no use for it.
