Does anyone have any pics of the 2-180 that White had at the Farm Progress show in '78?  I know its a long shot, but relatives of ours own that tractor, and someday I plan on buying it from them...

Just thought it would be cool to have pics from the show.

If I recall the stories corectly, this was the demonstrator tractor that White had Caterpillar come in and &quot;tune&quot; before it made the show circuit.  Kind of like the car manufacturers did in the muscle car days before they gave a car to a magazine to do their review.

All I know is that as a little kid (that White and I are the same age) my favorite thing in the whole world was that tractor.  At the county fair, on Farmer Pull night, there was nothing that compared to hearing that awesome V8 with about 8 inches of FIRE coming out of the chrome pipe.  Man that thing was hot.  It still holds a big place in the mechanical part of my heart.

I need to go see it...  It was still farming the last time I saw it.
