Most of you (and even me) have been wondering if I would ever get this thing done, well that time is finally here! 2 Years and 9 months of work and over $29,000 in Canadian funds and you can say that I have a brand new 2018 190XT.
Actually, it is a 1967. But for everything fixed, rebuilt or replaced I would consider it brand new. The only thing not touched was the hydraulic pump. Rebuilt engine top to bottom, starter, alternator, fuel injector pump (set 10% over stock) and primer pump, transmission and rear end. New clutch, brakes, water pump, turbo and lines, fuel injector tips, tie rods, wiring harness, battery and cables, remote ends, gauges, seat cushions and steering wheel. All new O rings in the hydraulic valve body, steering motor and repacked all cylinders. Radiator was boiled out and pressure tested, new thermostat and rad hoses. The welded and worn out 3 point hitch lift arms were replaced with a lightly used set from a 200. The upper lift arms, drop downs and rockshaft were from a burnt 185. New rear axle seals – removing the rusted cast wheel centers was an ordeal in itself. Oh yea, I also can’t forget the custom made front lug bolts! All pieces were painted individually (including nuts and bolts) and everything got touched up after reassembly – 11 Spray bombs and 6 gallons of AGCO corporate orange. New 10.00 x 16 BKT fronts and 18.4 x 34 Galaxy rear tires, new vinyl decals from Maple Hunter, and a new step from Mike Noonan (the best!). Where else can you get a brand new 100 hp tractor for that kind of money? It was one tired tractor when I got it. Why did I buy it? It had good sheet metal and the price was right! I knew it had problems, but not that many! As I first saw it...
New and improved...
My local fab shop machined the head of my new lug bolts to have the same dish as the originals...

X2. Your XT is beautiful! Thanks for sharing story & pictures. That's right about buying a new 100hp tractor - they're spendy. These older tractors have such simple longevity. Old mechanical vs new electronics. How many decades do you suppose a new 100hp will last?? |

10.00 x 16s on the front. The rims were from a 200, so not exactly sure of the width. WF Owner: I actually live closer to your place. The GOTO site is around 4 hours away. I do not have a rig big enough to haul it.

Where are you in Ontario? I am about 12 miles from Cornwall. Maybe the 2020 GOTO in Madrid NY ? Madrid is about 25 miles from the Ogdensburg - Prescott bridge. It would be a shame for people to miss seeing a beautiful tractor like yours !!!!!

DSeries4, Great looking XT. Thanks for sharing pictures. Some things I noticed. -Previous owner repainted it with series III decals. -Tachometer reads 4256 hours. You mentioned that the gauges were rebuilt. So, could it have 14,256 hours?? -Starter is so close to fuel filter/primer. How difficult is it to remove starter? -Console control aluminum panel has Amazing Clarity. Where/who did you get it from?

That is the original tach, but the true hours are unknown. The tach cable was broken when I bought it. Definitely well used and used hard. With all the problems and wrong decals, it needed to be restored. To remove the starter, you have to remove the primer - that is the factory location. Not the greatest design! Doesn't really matter. Had the starter rebuilt when I had it torn apart. The console panel came from Neil Evans at Northside Salvage several years ago. Bought it when he first started making them - I knew I would need one eventually. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |
