About a year ago I bought a 1755D and according to the ser.# it is a late 1974. It has the name WHITE across the back of the cab. Can any one tell me when Oliver/White started putting the word WHITE on the back of the cabs?

White Motor Really had a hard time when and where they were going to put the White name on the Oliver 55 series tractors. What I have observed from literature and real tractors with original paint. When the 55 series were introduced in 1970. Look at a 1970 Better Farming, and the first literature on the 55 series that was copywrited in 1970. They had small black and white decal that said "White" on the upper front side shields, ahead of the Oliver nameplate. I have seen a 1970 Oliver 1655 that had the "White" decal on the sides ahead of the Oliver nameplate. It also had a steering wheel cap that said "White" and the serial tag said "White Farm Equipment". If you look at a 1971 or newer Better Farming or 55 series literature. The "White" name completly disappeared off of the Oliver tractors, except on the serial number tag where they say: "This OLIVER tractor was manufactured by the White Farm Equipment Company". I think they did this until 1973. My 2255 is a 1973 model and it has no decals that say "White" anywhere. Not even on the factory cab serial number, (my cab ser. # tag is just a piece of adheasive paper next to the radio speaker). But the tractor serial number tag does say "This OLIVER tractor was manufactured by the White Farm Equipment Company". Where bought my 2255 last year, the farmer had a 1974 Oliver 1955 with 2500 original hours. It was equipped with a factory roll-guard cab with air. It had 2 "White" decals on the cab. One in the front (located in the center of the cab top where the wiper comes out). The other one was on the back (in center of the metal strip above the small lower window, and below the large rear window). Both decals were the same size and they were reflective. The cab only had one door (the left) to enter and exit. The cab also had a better serial number tag (adheasive metal)it said White Farm Equipment on it. If my memory serves me right it had a tractor serial number tag just like the future White tractors that only said "White".

It's kind of hard to tell when they start and stopped and started again to put the "White" decal back on Oliver 55 series tractors. I'm just going off of original pictures and tractors that I've seen.

I hope this helps.

If somebody out there knows a little more than what I do when they did all this please tell me.

WHite Motor Company (the truck maker) bought Oliver in 1960, and a small White logo started appearing on Olivers in the 1960's. About the time 1974-1975, the name Oliver was dropped and initially, the Oliver line of tractors was badged as "WHITE" in the familiar silver livery, before White started making their own. And then WHITE got gobbled by a bigger fish, eventually ending up in the belly of AGCO, together with Allis Chalmers, another hallowed old make.
