- It's the last day of planting, the sky is blue, and the AC is cold, it doesn't get much better than that! A walk around of the 2-155, a little history of the tractor, and an unexpected guest in the field.

That is a good looking tractor!
Thank you!
Such great and solid built machines.
I remember when they first come out, was impressed and still impressed today every time I see one and was disappointed when they stop manufacturing them,...and I liked the Olivers too,
those were the good old days.
Thats a perty looking tractor your showing it on my birthday and of a tractor the year i was born its the same age as me
Nice setup 👌 👍
I am SO BUYING ONE!!!!
White tractors are my favourite. We had a few when I was little but we sold them off so we could get a few newer AGCO tractors namely the RT 150.
They were beautiful in the ads when new,they glistened like a silver fox Lincoln.
Love this tractor & all your other Olivers & Whites.
Thanks for taking the time to share your equipment and your farm Chris. Mich is a pretty state and some good looking and well maintained tractors. 👌👍
Good video chris. That’s some nice paint for original! That silver didn’t hold up very well. Grandpa had repainted our old 2-150 before it was even 10 years old lol. I don’t mind the coyotes there the only predators for deer around here. Good idea adding the fuel cooler too
Thanks for sharing your last day of planting , all i have left is my 1365 oliver still runs all the time.
Looks great and awesome picture at the end
Thanks!
White builds a really great stuff: a great and strong powerhorse just doing the job. Thanks for uploading
So great that the white tractor line was discontinued by agco eh
Good looking tractor 🚜. It sure pays to take care of them and if the A/C works....We be cool 😎
I have one just like that. It a pulling beast. Nice tractor. Great video.
Thanks!
My dad had a '66 Chevelle 396 when he was 16. We lived on "roller coaster road", with 3 or 4 hills that would get you pretty light in the seat when you hit them about 60 lol. Congrats on getting crops in for 2019! Always a good, satisfying feeling! That picture at the end is just *AWESOME!!* Always like seeing pictures like that, but really love them when there's a story tied to them as well. Pretty nice tractor! Great shape! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Dad only put ideas in my head with that story. I had a 79 square body 4x4 with a strong 350 and 4 on the floor. There's a similar hill here at the home farm, and I got some of my high school friends suddenly weightless on it. Later that night we're out zipping around in the wheat stubble and I hit a small washout. The old truck didn't have a working interior light, so I was totally shocked when I went to push the clutch pedal down and it was GONE! We walked the half mile home in the dark, came back out in the light to see that the pedal was still there, but as down as the dash and floorboards would allow. The engine flexed enough in the frame that the pivot came off the ball stud on the block. Easy fix and lots of fun.
Your very best video I think! Love to hear it with door open. I have a 2-135 MFWD just love it. All neighbors are JD I catch lots of shit but o wouldn’t trade with neighbor who has a new 150 JD cost him $200,000.00
I love the sound of those Hercs.
I like that tractor and the place where you live, it's just beautyfull land. You are a lucky man. Gretings from Lower Saxony in the north of Germany :-)
Thanks, I do like where I live, even the snow
Nice video love the old Oliver and white tractor we farmed with 930 case and a 105 both were good old tractor s my one uncle large dairy farm used I.H and on other side of family another dairy Farmer used Oliver's I like them both good old days!
BEAUTIFUL tractor....4500 hours ,just breaking it in. When I ran a new trackhoe at work I put 2000 hours a year on it. PS,love the stubby look.
Wow it still has R12 in it that's something! Awesome field you can't find even 100 acres in one chunk around here! Thanks Chris
That 217 acres was somewhere around 10 fields when I was a kid. We spent many winter days in the 80s cutting firewood and taking out hedgerows to get it to what it is today. The field that the video starts out in is 152 tillable, and I remember it being 5 separate fields.
thank you Brother
We had a white 2-70 we loved it
Great video and channel! Be trying to put my head around all the different tractors.
Thanks!
Love those tractors farm with oliver and white tractors also in michigan
White made the best looking tractor of all time,their little garden tractors had the same paint job,spite the fact it was built by M.T.D.,it was a very nice machine.
We put an electric fuel pump and fuel cooler about 15 years ago and it's been running 210 hp ever since and in the 20 years I had it all we did was put on an A/C compressor and tires !! My cousin has it now and it will dog his 2 -180 all day long !!
Greetings from an Oliver/White farm in MN. I enjoy the videos, you have an awesome collection and an interesting history to back it. My family and I are members of the Northland Oliver Collectors Association. If you were closer, your collection would be worth a club trip. (If you were so inclined) Enjoy seeing the more rare models put too work. Subbed....
Thank you for the compliments. I have had a few plow day events here for the Oliver Gang Chapter of the HPOCA, and get them all out and lined up when I do it.
Chris Losey Northland is a chapter of the HPOCA, they do a plow day at a members farm every fall. They also join a local county fair board to put on demonstrations during the fair, as well as other local events. Also do some antique pulls.
One of these days I'll have an Oliver in my yard in the mean time I'm going to spray paint my lawn tractor Oliver green with cream color grill and wheels at least I'll see Oliver green when I'm mowing!!
The 80s were such awful years for so many family farms, including my families. Just could not make it, but mean while White is coming out with great units like this, as was Allis Chalmers which we used. It would be good to have a bit more variety in the machinery market. Unfortunately a lot of companies couldn’t pull through either. Really impressive tractor. Just looked up a FWA model for 15k. By the way, we had geese on n our farm, first of all they are mean as he//. Secondly, bent upland grazers when the Canadian Geese come through they leave a swath a destruction. Coyotes have taken ahold again in MN. But I’m more concerned about Black Bears resurgence. My mom found one eating seed in her screen porch this fall. She screamed and it leapt back through the screen. But she won’t let me kill it either, the stupider they are the more dangerous, that SOB is going to die next spring. Going to need a big revolver, he’s 300lbs.
if you were within a 100 miles of me i’d lend you my Weatherby magnum 7mm…make a nice rug and meat for my dogs that bear
That being said though, I really enjoy your channel! It's nice to see these tractors that you don't see very often especially on youtube videos. So thank you for that and please keep them coming, goofy front axles and all hahaha.
Hell of a machine! Wouldn’t mind having one of em, problem is the wallet disagrees... lol.
If it's 2wd and rusty, you can get one for around $5 grand. I sure wouldn't let this one go for anywhere near that.
Chris Losey I think I’d offer her for about $12,500 honestly.
I haven't watched many yet but you've made some good videos of the Oliver/Whites man. I'm curious how many compression rings per cylinder did that later model Hercules have?
Two compression rings, so even a fresh one has some blowby. The military version had a higher compression ratio and 3 compression rings.
And a Continental hood ornament :)
Nice tractor just found your channel!
Thanks!
Got a few Oliver's myself gotta love them 88s! Ya dont know anyone in mid Michigan that knows hydraulics on a 1755?
I might be able to help. What's happening?
@@ThatOliverGuyChris I bought it back in 1997 from 1st owner and they had put a extra remote on it. And it would blow hydraulic hoses? From what I could tell it was a open center remote.
An open center remote on a closed center system is a definite no-no. It allows full flow when in neutral, so the pump will always be pumping at maximum, causing lots of heat and premature wear. The hoses wouldn't last as long, but as long as they were rated for at least 2500 psi, they shouldn't blow out.
What is the brand or GPH of electric fuel pump you used? My dad’s 2-155 seems to lose power once the top fuel tank is empty.
I looked the pump over and couldn't find any markings other than in and out. It's been at least 10 years since I added it on, so of course I don't remember any of the specifics for it, plus they probably don't make that particular one any more either. The Hercules can use 8 gallons per hour when working hard, so to be on the safe side and compensate for injector bleed off, I'd get around 10 gph or a little better. The waukeshas with a Roosa Master run 10 psi on the lift pump, so I would shoot for the same with an electric pump. This one came rubber mounted to a mounting plate, so it dampens vibration and isolates it electrically . I'm sure you could find something similar at Jegs, Summit, Jc Whitney, or even Napa.
Another nice looking tractor and a good back story! I always liked the way those bigger whites looked with duals and fwd. Is that the same drill you pull with the 1955 that you mentioned in the dyno video? How many acres do you farm? Thanks for another great video...
Yep, the same drill. I farm about 900 tillable acres. People have requested a video of the collection, but it would probably end up being 2 hours long with me talking about the history of each tractor, so I've been trying to do them one by one. Of course when I get done with a video, I remember stuff I should have put in. I guess that will make for future video material. Thanks!
@@ThatOliverGuyChris how does the 1955 pull that drill? I bet it would take quite awhile to make a video for your collection. I really like the idea of the fuel cooler, I defiantly would think it must run better with the fuel at lower temp then what the rest of the engine is at.
The 1955 handles it great. If it had air conditioning, I might use it for beans as well. I pull at 2000 engine rpm in 4th direct, which gets me about 5 mph. That seems to be the threshold speed where the rock damage happens more often, so I like to keep it there. I have to shift down to under drive on some of the hills, where the 2-155 doesn't ever have to shift down.
I'm thinking the cooler fuel would be denser, but more importantly, have better lubricity. I don't use it in extreme cold, so fuel gelling isn't an issue for this one.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris yes definitely help better lube. Espically with today's fuels. What type of injection pump is used on those Hercules engines? I am not to fimilar with them. I always liked how 2-135 red stripe looked also.
They use the Roosa Master injection pump. I'd have to look at the tag to tell you exactly which model, but for the most part, it's the same as what was used on most 50 and 55 series Oliver diesels.
Do you guys have any White 100 series tractors with cummins engines?
No. I do have an American 80 and a White 6125 with Cummins engines, as well as my combine.
what do you think a white 2-135 4x4 is worth. looks like yours, but this one doesnt have duals on the back. Its in good shape and owner says everything works as it should
Seems like I usually see them listed for 12 to 15 thousand, depending on condition. Location can make a difference on price too.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris this one for sale north of me is right in that range. Asking 14k. I'm guessing he is flexible on price
What happen to geese flying north for the summer?
I guess I thought Mighigan was north. What gets me is the number of Canadian geese that don't fly south for the winter. They leave my farm, but they stay in the bigger cities all winter long.
Is that an aftermarket hood ornament I see?
Nope, that's the original one.
Chris Losey from my cell phone it looks like it came from a Lincoln Continental.
I googled Lincoln Continental hood ornament, and there are ones that look almost identical to what White used during the 70s and 80s.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris I always thought they looked like that too! lol!
never heard of a diesel engine with bad injectors take out pistions and rings
With the older nonemission engines they wouldn't normally wash out the rings but plugged up injector holes will burn holes through pistons
Any fish in the lake?
Not at this time. It had carp in it a few years ago, froze deep and killed the carp. Then a bout 2 years ago the drain commission finally fixed the drain and it dried right up last summer. The drain is still working, but with the wet spring, it had gotten filled up somewhat again. It's almost dried back out now.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Ok. Well the fish need water.
Sandy loam
The actual getting it done starts at 8.50....
Graham Ambridge most people are here to listen to Chris talk about his equipment and farm. That’s the best bit about Chris, knows his tractors/farm history better than you know your own todger
Hugh Munro call the video something else then...
This is strictly personal taste but I always really liked Oliver's and Whites also but damn I don't know why they could never seem to find a happy medium with the length of them as far as the front axle goes, cosmetic wise I mean. These Whites look too stubby I feel and the Oliver's were freaking awful!! The underslung axle was hideous looking and the extended one, or whatever the right term is, wasn't much better looking. Idk why they couldn't just be normal and position the damn axle where it belongs just like every other company did. I'm talking just looks wise as far as my opinion goes. It's ashame too cause they made damn good tractors and equipment!
You're not the first person I've heard say that. Personally, it doesn't bother me, but I grew up with them so they look normal to me. The reason for keeping the FWA axle back farther was it helped with turning radius. I remember guys saying they didn't want FWA because it took too much room to turn them around, and by the time we closed the dealership in 98, you couldn't hardly sell a tractor without it. AGCO moved the axle ahead on the early powershift tractors. We sold a 6175 FWA and we ended up putting straddle spacers on the front axle so the customer could go down 30" rows and still turn around. Thanks for watching!
Chris Losey Just found your Channel. Looking forward to watching videos and catching up. The short wheel base is a blessing when chopping haylage, no wasted time on headlands! Have two Whites, 2-135 FWA and a 100 FWA. According to the museum in Charles City, the 135 was possibly the 3rd 4th or 5th FWA to come of the line. Around 600 hrs. sleeves and rings were replaced, engine rebuilt at 11,000 hrs. Dairy farming (Wi.) , was used for everything, (“355” days a year, only tractor with cab). The 100 was repowered just under 15,000 hrs. Still have both.
Too bad White didn't think of super steer. I know my neighbors 2-155 didn't turn real short. His was set for 30" rows. His has rub mark's on the frame from trying to turn too short. I borrowed my cousins JD 4960 once to do field work with it couldn't turn as short as our NH TG 210 I had to make an extra head land to turn around on.
