TRANSMISSION

The Allis Chalmers 190XT features a two-speed power shift transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for enhanced operational versatility. The unique Power Director system enables on-the-move shifting between high, low, and neutral without clutching, optimizing productivity in certain field scenarios. However, the requirement to stop and use the clutch for selecting forward and reverse gears may introduce delays during frequent directional changes.

Transmission Power Director
Type two-speed power shift
Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse
Oil capacity 32qts / 30.3L / 38qts / 36.0L (S/N 23000 and up)
Description The transmission is controlled by means of the gear shift lever and the Power Director lever. The tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to select one of four forward gears, or reverse. The Power Director lever has high, low, and neutral positions. The Power Director can be shifted on the move without clutching. Placing the Power Director into neutral causes the tractor to stop while keeping the PTO engaged.
