My preferred brand is Deere. Back in the 1970's, when we transitioned away from IH to eventually Deere, we had a 1955 Oliver for 3 years. That particular tractor was one of the two worst tractors on the place. In the 3 years we had it, the repair bills added up to a cost of around $19.00 per hour to run that tractor, excluding diesel fuel and lubricants. Much of the trouble was experienced in the engine itself. The transmission set up with the 3 speed Over/Under was a delight to have and to use. It seemed that no matter what was hooked to the tractor, normal operating conditions allowed for using "direct drive." When a tough spot came along and pulled the engine down, you pulled it back into "under drive." If an easy spot came along, you could shift up into "over drive." Very nice transmission set up! While that 1955 was "in the hospital," we were provided a 2-105 White to use, a predecessor and smaller model to what you are looking at. We thought White provided a very good tractor. Had we been not so "soured" on the 1955 Oliver, and had a dealer been located closer, we probably would have seriously considered purchasing a White back in 1979. We ended up trading the Oliver for a 4440 John Deere, which is still in the family to this day. The use of the 5.9 Cummins in this White brand of tractor you are looking at, in my opinion, makes this tractor something worthwhile pursuing, and I already shared with you our own appeal to the transmission setup. I think you have found a very good tractor to purchase, and it should give you lots of good years and hours of service. I can see no reason to be afraid of this tractor! If you can swing it - Go for it!

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
