Fond du Lac, Wisconsin | The other day while turning the wheel the end cap of the pump blew off and wont steer anymore. We got the new cap but I was wondering what would have caused this and if its going to happen again with the new cap?
TIA |

NC Iowa | maybe some of the 'white experts' will chime in also. i assume you meant the steering cylinder, not the pump, since there is not a seperate pump. i have had the cylinder end cap bolts work loose, and had to retighten them. i would think it would leak pretty bad by the time they worked all the way out. the cylinder is known to crack.i had to replace mine. not a fun job to do, but just takes time. the replacement is much more heavy duty.
if you cant see any cracks in the cast, i would replace the cap, and try it while someone watches for leaks.

North Central Kansas | I had something similar. But mine, the cylinder up front under the radiator, one end "split" off. There was no repair. Just get a new.
I had a goodie on mine just 2 months ago. The charge pump locked up, which sheered my pto shaft.
To fix that, rock shaft (minor leak), high low trannie (been out for 2 years just had mid range) They had to split the tractor, and take the cab off.
$16,000 later I got a pretty new tractor. |

Wisconsin | Sorry to here your misfortune with your 2-155. Our story almost same just at different times. 2-155 3 speed went out with 7300+ hrs. on it dealer tried to cheat and use used Oliver part's to save dough. Fixed again right few month's later. Ran okay until about 3 year's ago and hydraulic gear in pump destructed over 5 grand was back in service. The tach quit and was replaced after the tranny repair and broke a few more after so not sure on hour's exactly but my guess is defiantly over 11,000 hour's now and our's is a 1979 model. How is your's on year and hour's? |

Sask | I had the steering cylinder crack on a 2-85. The piston and gear were OK and put in a new cylinder. |
|
| |
|
| I had the same thing happen on a 2-105. When I compared the old end cap to the new one, the new one was definitely heavier duty. It had gussets formed into the casting that were not on the old one. |

Western Oregon | I just haven't had much to say as of late. I'm not really a White expert I just talked a lot about them. But, I am glad you enjoyed my rambling stories. I've gone back to lurking.
Some years ago I worked for a farmer who had a lot of problems with the steering on a White 2-105. He adapted a standard cross cylinder (I think it might have been a longer stroke) to replace the White cylinder. I think they just welded something onto the tie rod but I don't remember how it mounted. Just used the standard white steering valve under the dash.
I am quite tense at the moment as I found metal filings in the threespeed on my 2-155. No slipping, no noise, but I can imagine spending multiple thousands on the project. |

NC Iowa | good to hear from you. so, did you change to oil, or how did you come to check for fillings? my white guy tells me to overfill by 1 quart on the over/under for longer life. that advise may not do you any good at this point. if i see him again soon, i will ask about the fillings issue. good luck! |

Western Oregon | I saw it on the end of the dipstick. One day it was clear, the next it had a little silver shine. I changed the oil and there were cast iron type filings in the filter. I unhooked it from the drill and attached the 2-135. I drove the 2-155 home and parked it. I am going to tear it apart this coming week.
I would like to know how to tell the difference between the heavy and light 3-speeds. I've acquired one out of a silver strip 2-155 and from a 4-150 but my 155 is a early series III. (1982) They look the same to me. |

Fond du Lac, Wisconsin | I dont know the year... we bought it from a salvage yard with about 5900 hrs on it and it sits on a manure pump all year. I think we put 400 hrs on it so far... |

NC Iowa | maybe just use it as a stationary power unit then. shouldn't leak if use you don't try to steer. |
