1870/2270 sales literature

    There was information published under the heading "Power Pointers" that was sent to the dealers for product information.  1870 is form PP-4-5 (14 pages) & 2270 is form PP-4-7 (15 pages).  Both have illustartions and photos with complete specifications and are printed in black & white.

I do have a question for you. When White introduced new Oliver tractors and equipment, they used what they called "Sales Notes". The Sales Notes format was used up to and including 1973. Also, when White introduced new Minneapolis Moline tractors and equipment, they used what they called "Product News". The product news format was used up to 1970, when they introduced the big engine in the 1350.

Now my question. Was the "Power Pointers" format that was used on the G955/1870 and G1355/2270 the replacement for the above sales notes/product news? If so, was that used up to 1980 when White Motor went out of business, or did they use yet another format? Thank for your reply.

The way you asked your question I know you are quoting Canadian brochures.

I do not believe there were any Oliver brochures printed on Oliver 1870/2270's because those tractors were sold as Oliver and Minneapolis Moline G 955's and G 1355's in the United States. However, the same tractors were sold in Canada and Australia as the 1870's and 2270's.

There was a brochure printed on the White 1870 in Canada and another one printed in Australia on the same tractor. These brochures were simular, but have different pictures on the front cover. The same applys to the 2270, simular brochures with different covers printed in the two countrys.

I welcome any other information anybody else has on this subject.
