185 is one of the best Allis ever built! Absolutely love mine. When I was young, Dad was negotiating on a 175, his buddy was pushing him toward a 185. Well, he bought the smaller tractor, cost savings I'm sure. Years later after the 175 had been traded for a 6080 he decide he needed something with a cab. Found a really nice 185. That was great until he tried bailing big rounds with no A/C. That tractor got traded for a turd, in my mind, a 4230 JD. Some years later he found another 185, the one his buddy had owned and bought it. Dad's gone now and that 185 aint going nowhere!

Thank U for sharing this fine post!

Great overview of the AC 185 Ryan!
