I purchased a White 4-150 and the power shift is bad, I need to get this tractor home and was thinking about towing it, I would mount a towbar in the 3 point and remove the steering cylinders and tow it backwards, will this be ok on the trans??? or will something get starved of oil?? I have to go about 15 miles

Try looking into different heavy haulers in your area or heavy towing companies. I moved a disabled Clark 175C end loader one time. Used a heavy towing co. winched it on the lowboy and we where down the road in 30 min.

One has to shift the disconnect lever on a JD powershift before towing or clutch packs in tranns. will explode. Don't know if White is similiar but the farthest I would tow any later model disabled tractor is off of the road and I'd haul it or hire it hauled!!!!! !!! Tx Jim

This exact scenario has gone through my head many times while tooling back and forth to our farms in my white 4-150. I actually think towing it is a disaster waiting to happen. I think the transmission or differentials would be the least of your problems if you tried to tow that beast. It would never track good behind you. Would take you right in the ditch with it. I would find a person with a dozer and a lowboy trailer to go to the tractor and use the dozer to push it on the lowboy. Truck it the 15 miles and pull it off there. Now go back and pick up the dozer and be done with it. Getting it home will be the easy part. Working on that t/a will be the real job. Motor has to come out, radiator,cab lifted, transmission shaft, lots of work. Keep us posted on how that t/a job goes (cost, time required, level of difficulty.) I may have to do mine soon. I actually have considered putting a gear driven hi/low from a 4-180 in mine as opposed to the t/a. I think it would be a very reliable tractor if the t/a was eliminated. That is defenitely the weak link on a 4-150. They are really an ideal sized 4wd tractor because they are actually small compared to the giants in that class yet are capable of lots of good pulling power and traction. Good luck. let us know how it works out.

I used to own a white 4-210, if the engine is not running, and you are towing it, the bad part you wont be amble to turn the tractor left or right...

better off drive it home not at high speed, if going the high speed it will rocks back and forward.
