My neighbor just bought a White 2-155. It is decaled as a Series 3. Serial number is 300 414. According to Larry Gay's guide book, that makes it a 1982 but not yet a series 3 model. His book says the Series 3 serial numbers do not start until 300 928 in the year 1982.

I know the decaling of these tractors get updated from some owners but we do not know the history of this tractor as it came off a dealers lot. It is very clean with 4300 hrs. on the digital hourmeter. It has the gearshifter on the side console. Looks original to me. What else can I look at to determine if this is a series 3 or not. 1982 was a crazy year for White and this one may have been updated prior to selling?
