Went and looked and drove the White last night. Knew no one was going to be there, that was fine. Dark clouds all the way there, started sprinkling as soon as I got out of the truck. Checked fluids, needs an oil change (I liked that better than seeing new oil). Nothing glaring with fluids. Got on and yes, felt very familiar to my Oliver. Steering column is supposed to move vertically, didn't for some reason. Paint looked good, loader and arms weren't tweaked, no repairs, paint on tractor looked good, drawbar hole not "wallered" out, original paint on 3 pt arms and area. Did get black on my hands from the steering wheel. Fired right up, drove out nice, lot tighter tractor than my Oliver. As soon as I moved it it started pouring (meaning the sky opened up and rained)!!! I drove it around, found a couple piles of stone (assume for the parking lot/driveway). Drove into it and it filled the bucket without any black smoke, no slip of the clutch and I lifted it and held it for a little while (already was drenched) no bucket lowering or tipping trying to unload. Shut it off, restarted it without any hesitation (on the tractor's part). Pulled up in 6th gear, killed it parking it, restarted instantly (not used to that, my Oliver once warm, keep it running, doesn't start hot). No pictures, sorry, left the phone in the truck. Loader is tight, steering was tight, definitely a large step up from my current set up regardless of a problem with my tractor.
Edited for clarification.
