We know that the tractors painted white for the Mid-Century sales promotion were made all at once- they didn't go white, red, white, red, because they were painted on the main assembly line, which could only handle one color. The first quarter of the year is also conjecture, but is pretty close- might have been three months, four months, whatever. A whole bunch were built. The whole white demonstrator tractor thing is pretty overblown in my opinion. I've answered questions I think a couple hundred times on white tractors. Cotton picker tractors, high crops, etc. are far more rare that white 1950 tractors- even my channel frame SW-6 is probably rarer than a White C.

As for the H's and M's, tractors were painted white to customer order, which probable accounts for them. I've been told the Ohio Highway Department ordered white tractors, and I know at least one utility company ordered white tractors as well.

Sometimes, a dealer repaint may have used a white primer. White sealer was used on large parts containing oil as well. Cast iron can be pourus, and the factory slathered on sealer until the parts didn't leak- sometimes they had to coat inside and outside of engine blocks, for instance, especially on Diesel blocks.
