Ok if you had to pick just one tractor what would it be and why.
Mine would be a WD-45 diesel. Since I was a kid I have always wanted a 45, I just love the way they look and sound. Now here's the funny thing, I have operated D15, D17, D21, G, CA, B, C, WC, WD, 180, 190, 210, 6080 and quite a few others but I have never used or driven a WD-45.

| Oh so many I'd love to have. Guess one that pops into my head right now would be an immaculate 4W305, cause my farming operation could really use one. |

If I could only choose one it would be a WD45 for the same reason I have one now. It is the model I learned on. ------------- David Gibson http://www.darkecountysteam.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.darkecountysteam.com 1956 WD45 |

| A sweet running One Ninety XT series III. I just love to hear the 301 engine in it run. A quick throttle-up response or just a lopy idle sound. I think I can almost imagine the smell of some of the exhaust diesel fumes now? |

If I could only own one tractor from now to eternity.........ooooo that's tough.......I really favor a 7045 all decked out or 190XT Series III Landhandler diesel but my heart would be for the 45. Really was Allis' icon tractor to me. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

I have just one and it is the perfect tractor. My Dad's old WD45 that he bought in '68. I guess I'm lucky. I've had it since '89. Restored it in '91 and now it needs it again! ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

185, open station, no external air filter. That is how my grandpas was set up, and that is what I would like. He sold it on auction, but I do have his WD with loader sitting in my back drive! ------------- Greg Kroeker 1950 WD with wide front and Freeman trip loader |

Its hard to choose, but it would either be the D21 FWA or a 220 FWA, but probably a DT 240A AGCO with front and rear duals fully loaded. Now im dreaming. This was my dream tractor till I bought it last month.

Would love to have a MFWD 200. With a 6000 series cab and seat. Then throw in hydraulic brakes and a extra gear for some road speed.
Might as well move the shifter over to the console too.
Yeah its a dream alright.

A 185 with FWA, synchronized 12F/4R speed transmission (6F/2R speed w/power director), wet disc brakes and differential lock. I started tractor driving on a 185... I know this sounds a lot like a 6080, but they didn't have power director or the 6 cylinder engine and I liked the 185 3pt. and control layout better. ------------- The innovators offer what others will imitate. |

My old 5 1/4" bore E 30-60 Thresherman's is close to being my favourite. It makes wonderful exhaust noise when it's on a load - there is nothing better, except one of another make which I daren't mention here!

I'd have to stick with my D15 II. Narrow front, power steering. At time I'd like to have a D19, but the 15 sure does 99% of everything I need done around here. Hauls on my small trailer, turns in no space at all, and has plenty of power when it's happy.
It can be a bit cantankerous occasionally, but usually a carb cleaning, new plugs and we're off to work.

I'm with Jim D; have three D15II's and love em. May just put a narrow front under the factory 3-pt. gas unit some day and continue to run the gas SC unit on an A-C brush cutter for now. Plenty of snort, PS and easy to trailer to boot.
Have a very straight and strong D19D at my dad's place in central NY and it is for sale as I have convinced myself that the D15's will do whatever I will need doin.
