Welcome to the forum!  I'm about 20 miles or less south of you, west of Niwot.  You are quite close to Francis Banderet, who used to be the AC dealer in Commence City, now has Flatiron Equipment, 8127 W I 25 frontage road a bit north of highway 52.  He has several AC's around his place, used to have some at 287 and the road into Berthoud. 
I wonder if you can reach the flywheel easily and try moving it with a big screwdriver, just to make sure the engine isn't locked up.

I don't think you have air conditioning. Is there a compressor under the hood?

One way or another I would want to be certain the engine was free before I tried to make it run.

Thanks for the info sounds like there could be some good resources close by! I had that thought also. I will be pulling the starter to see if I can turn it by the flywheel probably this weekend. It’s been a little too cold the past couple days

So I finally got some time to mess around with the tractor. I pulled the plugs last week and noticed some rust on the ends of a couple plugs so I suspected the engine was seized. I sprayed some penetrating oil in the cylinders and let it sit for a couple days. Then sprayed some more and then some more. I hooked up a battery and after bumping the starter a few times it broke loose! So we sprayed some carb clean in the intake and it will fire! So good news is the tractor should run. I ordered a rebuild kit for the carb and I’ll be changing the oil and plugs soon. What oil and plugs are the best to use?

Hey guys been a while since I’ve been on here. We’ve had a lot of house projects that have taken priority over the tractor unfortunately. At any rate I have great news, the tractor is running! I ordered a carb kit online about three weeks ago. It took over a week to show up, when it did I pulled the gasket out and it was about half the size it needed to be. So I went back online and found the right kit and I was finally able to rebuild the carb today. Got everything installed and she runs great! I am ecstatic that it’s finally running, that means the to do list just got longer. Now it’s time to grade the driveway, pull stumps, tear up the old cracked patio, etc., etc. Thanks so much to everyone on this forum who provided input to help get this beast running. I’m sure I’ll have plenty more questions as I get to use it and I’ll post some more pictures soon

Just keep an eye on all fluid levels. Radiator and engine oil every day you use it. Don't want to mess up a good thing.

Will do. I just changed the engine oil today. Coolant looks like it’s low and hydraulic oil was low. I can’t figure out the transmission dipstick. There is cross hatching at the bottom of the stick and about a half inch above that there is a line. Is the line the full mark? Currently it is at the top of the cross hatch section so I figure that’s safe

The early 190s had more transmission and rear end troubles. If my memory serves me right they ran less oil and part of the fix was to run more oil in the transmission/rear end. So the upper mark could be the new full mark. Other fixes included harder rear axles and transmission upgrades and better fixes in later models. Yours, being a gas, probably would not have the harder rear axles or any other upgrades. Others will be able to confirm or debunk my memory of that issue?

Ok good to know. I am curious if anyone else can confirm the line on the dipstick? My tractor will not see a lot of hard work here. I mostly plan to use it for grading the driveway, mowing, and drilling post holes. According to the dash it only has about 2400 hours on it

Also do these tractors have a parking brake? If so how do I set it? I haven’t been able to figure that out yet

Yes, they do. On the right hand side of the dash support there should be a little handle that will flip up and down. You hold down the brake pedals with your foot and flip that lever down=this should lock the pedals in place holding the brakes on. To release, flip the lever back up and then give the brake pedals a little stomp with your foot and they should release and come back up.

Ok that’s what I thought. I have tried that and it doesn’t want to stay put. Am I doing something wrong?
