Can you fix a white 4 wheel drive tractor?
BIG$$$ to fix. Our 4-180 has a 2-150 rear end, the bicycle chain to run the pump runs the hydraulics in the rear. If the chain breaks, you’ll lose power in the steering, PTO, hyd valves. I’d take a White 4wd over a 2+2 pending on what you wanna do with it, built bigger.

What kind of chain drive does a white 4 wheel drive tractor use?
I talked with a mechanic I used to work with at the CIH-White dealership and he said the 4-150’s used 1750 rear ends and the 4-175 used 2-105 rear ends. The 1750 had a chain drive transmission lube pump that liked to break chains, and if the lube light on the dash wasn’t working, the rear axle would seize up. BIG$$$ to fix.
