Texas Instruments sold White Farm Equipment’s tractor production to Allied Products, a company that owned the agricultural machinery manufacturer New Idea. The combines ended up with MF (Massey Ferguson). The White-New Idea tractor brand returned from WFE to White in 1987. In 1987, the main tractor lineup was renewed, and the model designations became White 100, 120, 140, 160, and 185. The designations roughly indicated the power take-off horsepower. The engines were changed to Cummins. The transmission continued to be the age-old unsynchronized 18+6, which had a 3-speed hydraulic powershift. Lifting capacity was increased. Even the smaller models now had oil-immersed disc brakes. The 100-140 four-wheel-drive models had a significantly longer wheelbase than before and featured a limited-slip differential for the first time. The middle model was now based on the technology of the smaller models, unlike before. Only the 160 had a larger engine and a dual-disc clutch. The cab was similar to the previous one: quiet but simple. As an optional extra, the FieldFacts multifunction display could be equipped with a wheel slip monitor.
