Let me say I am not one to push potty training at all! I know that the earlier you start, the longer it takes. I wasn't planning on trying to start trying to potty train at the earliest this summer (because I'm home for the summer) but probably not until he is 2.5 next winter but my son is majorly interested in going on the potty.
He says poop, pee, peepee, butt and potty. The past two days before he has pooped in his diaper he says poop and he always goes to the same spot to go poop. Sometimes he says pee.
This evening he said poop so I said "do you want to go poop on the potty?" He said YEAH!! So we went up to go poop on the potty. He kept saying poop while he was on the potty and he was pushing as if he was trying. He farted a couple of times while he was on the potty but he didn't acually poop. He got up and actually got toilet paper and wiped his butt lol! He kept going back on and off the potty pushing while he was on it and getting off to check if he pooped or not lol This probably went on for 15 minutes. He had so much fun trying to poop.
He usually poops like clockwork in the morning. I was thinking of trying to sit him on the potty when its his usual pooping time. Do you think it's crazy to try to potty train a 19 month old? I don't want to push it, maybe I'll just sit him on it when he wants to but he was really interested in it tonight. It was cute 
Has anyone tried to potty train this early??

Here is a link from the American Academy of Pediatrics. It has link to click on that can help you decide if your LO is ready to be potty trained or not. Hope it helps!

we've been putting baz on the potty since he was 5 weeks old.
you don't have to be this extreme, but there's no sense letting him lose the sensation just to have to re-teach it later.

PS - our parents were potty trained by 18months if not sooner. It's only since 'sposies that babies aren't potty trained until they're older.
also, it helps us to think of it as "potty learning" since it's one giant lesson for all of us.
good luck!
It's not totally crazy, but I wouldn't push the issue either. If he gets it right away, great....if not, take a break and wait awhile longer. I only know one person whose DD potty trained herself around a year and a half, but that was because my friend also had an older child who she was trying to train at the same time and her daughter watched and learned from him. Boys are usually much harder to train than girls and they usually don't train early.
My son started telling me when he pooped and peed and woke up dry from naps, etc around 20 months old, but is still not 100% trained at 3 1/2.
