Which AC Model was the easiest to power up by the typical farmer? In regards to Engine HP and the ability of the transmission to reliably handle the power increase. Not thinking about Pullers but typical farmers who wanted a little more from their tractor. I guess the diesel models have a leg up due to fuel pump. ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

The 190's sure were easy to turn up, but wasn't it until the series 3 and model 200 that the power train could handle the extra go? ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

| I have both a 7060 and 7080 running 210hp. My uncles 7080 was turning 223 but was turned back to 195. The dealer said you wont hurt it running that kind of hp. |

| The IH's seem to be quite good. There was a guy that pulled every year with a turned up 1206. He was 94 (I think) and pulled this last fall at the fair. Dad has a ford 6700 that has to be turned up at least 20 horse and that thing does a lot of work. |

| Hands down, it's anything with a 301. You could start with an 80hp stock engine, add a turbo, then an intercooler, crank up the pump and double the horsepower. Drivetrain might not hold up, but that engine would. I know of a couple 7020 s that have been running over 150hp for years.. |

The 301's were easy to work with, and handled the power. I also know of a 8050 set at 215. ------------- 30+ A-Cs ranging from a 1928 20-35, to a 1984 8070FWA, Gleaner R52 |

My uncle used to pull his 190XT at the county fair in the late 60's....AC reps would come and "tune" it before the pullls. They said if it developed any problems he was covered. I don't think he ever lost a pull....and managed to pull the front off the sled once LOL! ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |
