It fell off the truck on the way by our house. Thats what I told my wife anyway. It has Oliver 1650 drive train so I had to have it. Its only the second one I have seen in person its almost a Unicorn. Just something to putter around with and maybe it will run again.

Gotta admit, its different. I never seen one in my 50+ years of wrenching on equipment. Least that I can remember. Be neat to have if nothing else a conversation piece.
 
Buddy a few Oliver backhoes are around here . Some with 4 wheel drive. I had a 1650 Oliver Industrial loader and had exactly the same drivetrain as this one.
 
If I can figure out how to add a photo here is mine! Decals say White 2-65-15 Mighty Hoe. I works real good and has plenty of power. The loader will lift almost anything. I grew up on a Case 580 C. So I could never get used to the two pedal shuttle on this Oliver. So I spent most of a day and installed a lever like a 580 has to change directions. Just unhooked the pedal linkage and made my own linkage. I also have a 1600 RC and a 1600 U.

Tractorcedric the first TLB I learned on was a 580E extendahoe. Had a handful of levers with that one. I like the excavators for digging but this one will be fun to play with. What engine is in your White backhoe?
 
The last piece of equipment that I bought without my wife having prior knowledge, I told her it fell off the trailer also. Sure glad it wasn't a backhoe as it's first job to do would've been finish digging my own grave. It's a nice looking machine. Hope you have good luck with it.
 

That looks like one that I came across a few years ago near Parkersburg WV. It was parked for sale next to a gas station a little south of Parkersburg WV. It looked like an Oliver underneath so I stopped to check it out and sure enough it was.
