Most of us know the story of the White buyout of Oliver and the tractor story but what about the transition of equipment lines. In my area there are plenty of White tillage equipment but there is not any White haying equipment that I can see. I know that Oliver had plenty of haying equipment but what happened to anything of this nature when White dropped the Oliver nameplate? I have a newer style Oliver 5 bar hayrake and will gather more of the haying line from the 60s as time goes on but I'm just trying to figure out this one piece of the puzzle that has had me wondering for quite a while. If anyone has any info please pass it on. I doubt I'm the only one that has had this question pop into their heads from time to time.

The Combines were sold to Massey in the late 1980's and the Haybines were made by owatonna, the 129's were the same as a ford haybine(I forget the no's)

I don"t know what happened to the rest of the line, but the balers were sold to Hesston long before White went belly up. We sold Oliver/White, and Hesston, other than some sheet metal the Hesston 4500 baler is the same as the last Oliver 720"s. The Hesston 4600 in-line came out later and is a whole different critter. When it started getting hard to get some knotter parts for the 720"s we used to order them from Hesston.

From what I understand or have been told of the hay line, some of the products were scrapped while others were taken with a gentleman named Don Mack, who was a product or marketing manager of Oliver's haytool line. When White decided to get out of the hay business, Don Mack went out on his own with the rights to certain Oliver products (particularly the swather which only bore the White name for a short time) and founded his own company in Canada to manufacture swathers and later related haytools. We know the company today as MacDon (Don Mack / MacDon, very clever), a very popular manufacturer of harvesting headers and swather tractors based in Canada.
