I have a friend that very much likes White tractors. I've read a ton of good things about Oliver tractors. Haven't spent much time on Minneapolis - Moline tractors. Read some about Cockshutt tractors.
I understand White Motors acquired Oliver, MM and Cockshutt tractors and eventually rolled all,of them into White tractors.
Here's my question: What models tractors survived the consolidation, which features found they're way into all/most White tractors?
Once the silver paint and "White" logo were affixed, along with some new sheet metal, were White tractors really different than their predecessors?
Once the consolidation to White happened, did White advance new/different models and technology or milk the old brand/designs?
What was the mood of the employees, dealers and mostly end users? Did they embrace "White" ? One can read volumes, good and bad, regarding the joining of Case and IH, wondering how "White" was embraced.
Where was White in the pecking order vs JD, IH, MF, Ford and Case tractors? A blip on the sales radar or a formative competitor? Why would a farmer in 1977 buy a White vs the others?
Lasty - in the end, Agco bought White tractors. Did they continue them, basically unchanged or replace the whole design/line up with a different tractor line - like Deutz did with AC? Does any of the legacy White tractor design still live in one of Agco's brands of tractors?
