2-105 up and running

MinniMan · Jul 28, 2017

I finally completed the major part of my overhaul project. The tractor is back together and running.

There are still several things that need attending to. One being the AC and a leak at one of the brakes. Otherwise it appears to be tight and leak free which is amazing for a White!

Thank you to each and everyone who gave valuable advice and suggestions along the way. It is sincerely appreciated. I have included a couple pictures as it neared completion.

Once again Thank You to everyone again.

First time out of the shop and warming up.

Ready for a test drive!

Looks good. I've gotta crawl up under mine after supper and get a steel hydraulic line off. Went to cut hay and it started spraying oil. I hoped it was just a soft rubber return line,but no such luck.

I found on mine that about the only way to remove and replace the steel lines running to the front with the engine in was to drop the wishbone from the center of the tractor. It gives the clearance needed to get the lines in and out.

Thought this bit of info might be helpful Mr. Lund.

Easy route is just get a long hose made with the correct fittings on the end, and leave the steel line laying in there. I know, not factory but gets you buy quicker when you are in a bind.

Don't do that light field work. Get at least a 70-75 horse power load on it to help seat the rings. Then also dump the oil and don't look at it! I would probably go with another change of break in oil. MY BIL had to have a new set of sleeves and pistons in his Deere and the dealer wanted him to get another 100 hours on their break in oil.

Thanks John.

I understand where you are coming from on seating the rings. Problem is we don't cultivate any cropland anymore so cutting hay with a haybine and baling would be the hardest job I have to put it on. Neither one will give it the workout it needs to seat the rings.

Maybe I can convince my son to break up a small paddock for a heavier work load. What would you suggest for hours before an oil change?

The rear mounted AC condenser is damaged so of course lost its Freon before we got the tractor. Not too sure of the condition of the compressor either although I have the clutch working and the compressor turns over ok. Possibly the seals will be toast on the compressor. Have to do a vacuum test after I change the condenser. Also was thinking I should change the dryer and expansion valve.

The condenser fans and cab fan run although sound dry so will service them at the same time.

Any comments or suggestions are always appreciated.

Ya,that's what I did. Had one made this morning. It was a bear to get back up in there and get the threads started,but I got it. I split another piece of hose and slid that over it to keep it from rubbing anything. I baled hay with it this afternoon. Good as new.
