Dad bought a 2-110 new in 1984. Had all the series 3 features and was a very good tractor. The only trouble we ever had was with the rear hubs working loose when pulling the tractor hard. We had to replace 2 hubs at different times. Have heard this was common on these. Too bad White didn't do somthing like the 100 series tractors about 10 years earlier. I think that they could have gone alot further if they had. If the 110 would have had the heavy rear end with diff lock and heavy taper lock wheels, it would have been a bullet-proof tractor! White also had a very good cab with great visibility and nice steps.
Our 2-135('78 model bought new by us) was a good tractor in some ways...it was a great puller, but cost alot of money in the time we had it. The heads were off twice, inj pump off 2 or 3 times, 3 speed rebuilt, then the engine had to be overhauled at 3500 hours, hyd pump coupler broke, small things like doors handles breaking, light swith going bad, etc. This fall Dad tried using it to chop stalks and had to be hauled on the stretcher to the Agco dealer twice. Last time the PTO shaft broke. That was the straw that broke the camels back...when it came out of the shop, Dad told the dealer to sell it on consignment for him. The next guy will probably run it for thousands of hours with no trouble!
It's unfortunate that White didn't make some better, and more timely decisions on improving their products. They had alot of potential. They were one of maybe two or three companies that had a bullet-proof rear end/transmission. White was testing a infinitely variable transmission in a Oliver tractor back around 1970. Imagine if that got fully perfected and made it into production!

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
