I see I didn't answer all of your questions, j meyer. This tractor was built in Charles City, Iowa at the Oliver plant. It was built by the guys in experimental. It was started in early 1985 with the transaxle being built. We were laid off in March of 1985 until Jan 1986. As it had the wrong transmission, another 120 was built with the right transmission and sent to our Phoenix test facility for testing. My 120 was then completed and used for a lab tractor which is why it had so few hours. A guy that did custom corn shelling with a JD sheller used it for awhile, one of the other engineers used it on his farm for some time, and then it came back to the plant and used in experimental. It was put up for sale, and I bought it. Over a year later, we found out that Cummings still owned the engines in both my 120 and the 140 that was sold. I never did find out how that was settled, but I assume that White had to pay for them. These two B series engines were some of the first that Cummings had assembled. Mine used a quart of oil every 10 to 70 hours, depending what weight of oil I used, until it had about 1200 hours. Then it quit using oil; I'm assuming that it finally got broke in. It seems to be easy on fuel; it will do the same work as my John Deere 4320 on about 2 gallons less an hour.
