so let me ask this, what do you do with a family tractor like this. we have 2 of our grandfathers in storage. do you do full restoration or just get it running again and leave it as is?

I noticed that on the rear of your grandfather's White , the " WHITE" decal on the rear of the seat is actually from the 74 to 76 MTD built models.Your grandfather must have shopped at a White dealer,did he have any other White stuff?

I can't tell you what to do with yours, but I plan to clean it up and get it mechanically sound for now. Eventually I would like to restore it back to new. So I guess I don't really have an answer other than, maybe a bit of both?

I know he got a snow blade with the tractor when he first bought it, but that was gone long before me because he never used it to plow. I wasn't aware that MTD had white with that style tractor.

White used Jacobsen for the Molines til 69', 70 was the blue and white town and country, 72 were the Olivers, 73 red White town and country that sold in Canada. From 74 to the end in 85  they were MTD built.
