Hydraul shift question

Wesley Stephens · Jan 10, 2010

We purchased a solid but not too pretty White 2-105 at an auction yesterday and it has the hydraul shift transmission. I drove it to my mother-in-law's house a few miles away and I'm going today to bring it home. Can anyone tell me the shift pattern? I know I didn't have it in the highest gear yesterday and there is no decal.

Are you talking about the transmission or the actual hydralshift?

I was wondering about the transmission. I messed with it some and I think I got it figured out. I drove it 25 miles home. The hydraulic pump was recently replaced according to the owner's hired man and it is freshly painted. The steering is jerky and the 3 point won't move from the up position but the brakes work well and the hydraul shift works smoothly. Does anyone have any idea on where to start looking? It seems like a solid tractor, but I have not worked on White or Oliver hydraulics before. We have always had Massey Ferguson tractors, but this one seemed too be too good to pass up for 850 dollars.

You have 1, 2, R1, and 4 on top and 3, 5, R2, and 6 at the bottom. Can post a pic of decal if needed, it is not too hard to figure out if your driving it.
Can't help with 3pt problem. Good luck, I hope you can sleep at night after pulling a deal like that.lol. They are a good solid tractor.

We kind of felt bad but the owner's son (a relative of my wife) told us the hydraulic pump was bad and we knew it hadn't run in a couple of years so folks were afraid to bid too much. We took a chance and hopefully it will be worth the investment. After the auction was over, the owner's hired man told us it had been fixed and we put a battery in it and drove it away. We added some hydraulic fluid to it after we got home and the steering improved a little. The lift went down but would not come back up so we have some investigating to do. It came with 2 saddle tanks and a 200 gallon sprayer with an aluminum tank, so I don't think we did too bad.

Update on lift trouble- I opened the bleeder on the filter and nothing came out. I took the plug out of the bottom of the pump and a small amount of fluid that was full of air came out of it. With the engine not running and the plug out of the pump fluid with air bubbles came out of the bleeder. Does anybody know where I should go from here? Thank you in advance.

How is the hyd oil level? Depending on how this tractor was looked after, it could have moisture in the filter and with the cold temps, you would then have ice in there. Bruce
