...wouldn't that be fun?! I was reading the postings on the White 120, and couldn't agree more. The 100 Series and early Workhorse tractors were some of the best machines ever built. I saw the prototype White 120 at the Summer Show in Cedar Falls a few years ago. Got me to thinking: wouldn't it be fun to set up a shop and convert 2-135's and 2-155's into 125's and 145's? Install a 2-110 frame, a Cummins 6BTA5.9 and some new sheet metal. Since I cannot afford a Workhorse, I just might have to "build" me one someday! I used to repower tractors...and miss doing it! Have a great day!

I just recently purcased a 1992 White Model 125 Workhorse, w/3000 hrs on it. It also has a TA-76 Westendorf loader on it. It is an awesome tractor. My brother has a White 2-155, and this tractor can do just as much work, maybe more. We used it for fall field work and got along great. We've farmed with Olivers for 3 generations. This is my first MWFD White and I love it. The previous owner didn't do much to keep the tractor maintained. I've had to repair the transmission lock, and replaced the head gasket due to a water leak. The engine looks new inside. Otherwise the unit is in great shape. I'm also in the process of straightening the sheet metal and giving it a new coat of paint. Is there anything else that I should know about these units? What is the history behind the "Workhorse" vs. "Field Boss" names?
