We always were Oliver men on the farm. My Dad bought a White 2-70 at an auction with only 670 hours on it. The Hydraulic control valves needed to be rebuilt right away. It continuously was stuck in two gears until we replaced the shifting forks (they were not fabbed correctly). It constantly ran warm. At about 900 hours the crankshaft broke at the center main while the tractor was idling. We rebuilt the engine with a new crankshaft and continued using the tractor. At about 1100 hours, the crankshaft broke again while baling hay. we rebuilt the engine again and decided to have it line bored and found the block was distorted. We got it running and sold it. White must have made this tractor on a Monday morning using parts shoveled off the floor. I get a sour taste in my mouth just thinking about that tractor. We knew the hours were correct when we bought it because we had contacted the dealer who had sold the tractor new, and he assured us that the tractor was used very little. The buyer had died, and the tractor sat for two years before the estate sale.
