I remember my neighbor had a white and I ran it sometimes. The clutch was worn. The shift linkage was worn. You have to stall the tractor to get it in gear. The engine wouldn't hold oil pressure at idle. The hydraulic system was slow as fuck. But it did the job like that for many years hahaha But that's all I remember
That short wheel base makes it a rough riding pos. The key to productivity is being comfortable. John Deere figured that out. That’s how they survived. When you spend that much time in something you need comfort.
And she may scab up them ass cheeks but that Ole whore will never give up....even after she knocks you the fck out slamming your head off the cab riding over rough ground lol
+Oliver66FarmBoy It was in a box of other VHS tapes at a dealer liquidation auction, unfortunately it was mostly New Idea and White Outdoor videos, but it was worth it just to get this video and the one on the White American 60/80 that I posted as well.
Great find and post!! Just sad that White is the reason there is no Oliver. But you could still see Oliver in these models. Just look at that "cast iron frame" still the old Oliver bathtub.
The Whites and pre 86 series inters and most of the older tractors have the seat over the rear axle ,it was easier to see the drawbar pin, I also found them smoother riding over rough ground,just my two cents worth.
5.9l cummins engine were engineered in Melthan England by David Brown engineers they were actually called a DCD engine which stood for consolidated diesel corperation a merger between Cummins , Case and I can't remember the 3rd engine manufacturer Tenneco had controlling interest in . The Cummins name was going to be removed ,however when the 5.9 was introduced into the Dodge trucks the Cummins name took off like a rocket so they dropped the CDC name instead . We had a white colored 1896 and it had CDC stamped into the engine block as did the 5130 Maxxum . That said I still love the looks of those old Whites . Sad to see so many great tractor manufactures go down the drain . Then again it was bound to happen when you see all the empty barns down every country road . Just glad to see some people hanging onto these old work horses
+South Texas tractor guy Very hard to find. I came across this at a dealer liquidation auction in Illinois about a month ago, which was a 10-12 hour drive from home, once you factored in stopping for fuel for both the truck and the occupants. Lots of goodies there if you had the time and money to spend. Left around 3 or 4 in the afternoon and it was still going strong with the parts room inventory in one ring and the shop manuals/promotional items like banners/flags etc. in the other.
I have a serious question, My family owns a white 100 tractor with no front assist and we would like to know how much we could get on it since I haven't been able to find anything about them online, any help would be nice thanks
4:50, imagine if they put Super-Steer on the front axle of that model 160, that would've made that turning radius even smaller! though super steer wasn't even a thing in the late 80's, hell it didn't even come out till mid 90's lol
Shorter wheelbase was for turning purposes, particularly on the end of a row. Powered front axles can't turn as short as a conventional two wheel drive tractor, so to make up the difference, the wheelbase is shortened. New Holland had a solution to this in the late 90s called SuperSteer, which was a FWD axle, but at the end of the turning travel, the entire axle would twist, giving a sharper turn but without shortening the wheelbase, so ride quality was improved.
Thx for answer :D I was of the understanding that the tractor was from america. Everything is bigger in USA so thought they whould focus more on steady ride on the trip back an forth :D
I can’t make any claims to the ride quality of these White 100 series tractors, since I’ve never driven one. It was more of a general rule when considering wheelbase length.
Don, we've had some short wheelbase tractors here, some with the rider right over the rear axle, too. Helps the tractor turn shorter, but roughs the driver up, too.
Great video and great tractors. Although I've never seen someone pull a disc chisel or disc that fast before lol.
You can sure see the long-lasting Oliver heritage in this video. Thanks for uploading!
I've spent a good portion of my life on White and Oliver tractors, and although they're not comfortable, they're real workhorses.
Dude with the 160 and disk chisel is flying
Must not been in the ground much
Mama’s waitin at home gotta get this damn video made and GTF outta here

Interesting Video of a powerfull machine! Agriculture, the family, the whole world seemed going well!

Just what I needed, now I'm dead set on getting a White on the farm. lol
They may be bullet proof, but i sure do love watching the operator flying around in that cab o er rough ground lol
Wouldnt mind seeing this in Farming Simulator 19
Same
Very cool piece of American History, Thank You for sharing it with everyone.
We still have our 1976 WHITE 2-105 and she is still running strong.
And she may scab up them ass cheeks but that Ole whore will never give up....even after she knocks you the fck out slamming your head off the cab riding over rough ground lol
Awesome. Its hard finding any Oliver/White promo videos anymore.
+Oliver66FarmBoy It was in a box of other VHS tapes at a dealer liquidation auction, unfortunately it was mostly New Idea and White Outdoor videos, but it was worth it just to get this video and the one on the White American 60/80 that I posted as well.
oliverpuller1655 do you think you can post the other videos as well?
i have the VHS of this some place i used to watch it all the time
I had. 2-105 ,great machine

Boy, did White take a HUGE jump ahead with these Cummins powered Tractors.
Those Cummins 5.9 and 8.3 engines were good and capable of high power
I want one. All my experiences have been with old Fords and IH. 8700, 1066, 1086, but these look great

Sounds like a soundtrack to a Bob Newhart movie
I got one of these man it is old
now i want one...
awesome video, hard to find

they show cummins engine form closeups but the sound is from the old Perkins. I guess they messed up with the sound so they added in Perkins sound
4 amber flashers for added safety... few
Are White Tractors still being made?
Glenn Lego no, the White name is only on the planters these days
did that say onan cummins power great video
160 and 185 look awfully unstable with the short wheelbase and long overhang, with the driver allmost behind the rear axle... ???
Two rear lights for visibility in the field, well,,,,,
A gray oliver
I need one
I have a serious question, My family owns a white 100 tractor with no front assist and we would like to know how much we could get on it since I haven't been able to find anything about them online, any help would be nice thanks
They had the 5.9 Cummins engine, and there is a ton of info out there on that engine.

Supersteer came out in 93 or 94
What is PTO???
Power take off
whats the idea behind this tractor=? is the shorter wheel base great? Not a pretty one to look at. :D
Shorter wheelbase was for turning purposes, particularly on the end of a row. Powered front axles can't turn as short as a conventional two wheel drive tractor, so to make up the difference, the wheelbase is shortened.
