Injection System:
Mechanical fuel injection (likely Bosch or similar rotary/inline pumps) for most models.
Features:
Basic instrumentation typically includes tachometer, engine hour meter, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, oil pressure light, and warning lights. No advanced infotainment systems expected.
Features:
Limited to basic operational aids. Focus is on mechanical and hydraulic systems rather than electronic driver aids.
Features:
No electronic connectivity features.
Engine Oil:
Typically every 250-500 hours, depending on operating conditions and oil type. Specific interval detailed in manual.
Fuel Filter:
Typically replaced every 250-500 hours or annually. Specific interval detailed in manual.
Hydraulic Filter:
Typically replaced every 500-1000 hours or annually. Specific interval detailed in manual.
Transmission Oil:
Typically checked more frequently, with changes every 1000-1500 hours. Specific interval detailed in manual.
Engine Oil:
SAE 15W-30 or 10W-30 API CD/CE/CF quality diesel engine oil (or equivalent). Specific viscosity and API rating depends on ambient temperature and manufacturer recommendation. Manual will specify.
Hydraulic Oil:
Tractor Hydraulic Fluid (THF) meeting specific OEM standards, or a premium universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO). Specific type and viscosity will be detailed in the manual.
Transmission Oil:
Likely a GL-4 or GL-5 rated gear oil for manual transmissions, or THF/UTTO for integrated systems. Manual will specify.
Common Problems:
Potential issues can include wear on transmission synchronizers, hydraulic pump wear or leaks, starter motor failure, alternator issues, and sealing problems in the engine or hydraulics due to age and usage.
Electrical Gremlins:
Age-related issues with wiring harnesses, connectors, and switchgear are common in older tractors.
Heritage:
White Farm Equipment has a long history in agricultural machinery, originating from the Oliver Corporation, which was later acquired by White Motor Corporation. The brand has seen ownership changes, including a period under AGCO Corporation.
Evolution:
The '2-Series' tractors, including the 2-70, 2-85, 2-105, and 2-150, represent a line of versatile utility and row-crop tractors that evolved from earlier White models, incorporating improved hydraulics, transmissions, and operator comfort features.
Production Period:
Likely produced during the 1980s and early 1990s, with variations based on specific model updates.
