Due to the reliability demonstrated by the thousands of the B series powered White tractors that were produced, we know with a high level of confidence that the selection of components discussed in this article will successfully mate the B series Cummins to the Oliver/White drive train. Engineering details such as proper inertia match to minimize torsional vibration transfer are key, and if done incorrectly, can have an adverse effect on durability.

From my own personal experiences as an engine engineer, I can attest to the considerable amount of engineering and testing that goes into properly matching an engine to drive train and verifying its reliability.

An engine with a track record of good reliability can very easily become unreliable or render the vehicle unreliable if a conversion is not approached correctly, and system interactions are not considered. Successful Combination of Components – It's important to think of performing a conversion as integrating a complex component into a much larger and also complex series of systems. In addition, any service parts are readily available from any number of sources including your local AGCO dealer and the aftermarket. Parts Availability – Since most of the components needed to mount an over-under or hydrapower to a Cummins B series are borrowed from the White 100 Series tractors, adjustments, fastener torques, and service procedures can be had by referencing the B series powered White 100 Series models. Using the SAE 3 flywheel housing, flywheel, etc. What has enabled the Cummins B series engines to be easily implanted into White/Oliver applications was Oliver's use of a standard SAE 3 flywheel/clutch housing interface on a number of models.
