| 10.00X16 front and 18.4X34 on back. We modified it a little, put a turbo and bigger rubber than it came with. It has just over 3,000 hours and runs and sounds great. |

It's an 8050, just filled in a little paint and it became an 8090. It's got an 8.3 cummins and dynos 230 hp. I'm an Allis fan but I think they tried to squeeze too much power out of the 426. The cummins gave it more lugging and it burns a lot less fuel. We sold it to a local guy recently and bought an Agco DT240 - had to get an ORANGE one while you still can. |

Thanks for the pictures.
The Rubio Motor sign caught my attention as I live in Fairfield. Also, I am restoring a WC, SN 43, that was purchased new from Rubio Motors. I am the second owner.
Thanks,
Ron

That's cool Ron, nice to know where the WC originated. I live north of Richland, Dad bought that sign at Steinbeck's sale. He and his dad made lots of runs to Rubio. We still farm with 6 orange tractors ( 5 are TRUE orange ones - 7045, 185, 2 6080's and a series IV D17. |

jerbear, the big front tires look great on the 185. can you post a side view when you get a chance.i just returned to FL from my annual Fairfield IA Dodge Power Wagon Rally trip. they somtimes have a dinner in Packwood and last year we ate at a church near the V63 and 78 intersection just south of you. i stopped in the Agco dealer in Keosauqua and sat on a boned out A/C 185 i would have liked to buy.
also the farm we go offroading is just south of Fairfield and he has nuthin butl A/C so i can get my tractor fix there aswell. THANKS for the pics. hm
