The White Motor Company purchased Oliver Farm Equipment Corp. in 1960, Cockshutt Farm Equipment Corp. in 1962, and M-M in 1963. After the purchase, White began consolidating production of the tractor brands and sold the following four Oliver models as Oliver, Cockshutt, and M-M with the principal differences being the paint color, decals, and grill. These were mid-sized Oliver tractors painted Meadow green, M-M energy yellow or Cockshutt red. They were:
Oliver 1555 1970-75 = M-M G-550 1971... also = Cockshutt 1555 53 PTO Hp
Oliver 1655 1969-75 = M-M G-750 1971... also = Cockshutt 1655 70 PTO Hp
Oliver 1755 1970-75 = M-M G-850 1971... also = Cockshutt 1755 86 PTO Hp

White also took large horsepower M-M tractors and sold them as Oliver tractors with Oliver numbers and colors. These were principally Minneapolis-Moline tractors painted Oliver green with an Oliver grill and Oliver decals. In later years Oliver transmissions and differentials were used. These were:
M-M G-950 1969-71 = Oliver 1855 1971 only 98 PTO Hp

M-M G-1355 42 PTO Hp = White 2270, 1972-75
In 1969 the Minneapolis-Moline and Oliver identity began to disappear after White Motor Company officially "merged" the three companies and formed White Farm Equipment Company. After consolidating the tractor models in the 1960's and selling the same tractors as Oliver, M-M and Cockshutt, White stopped using the Oliver, M-M and Cockshutt names. In 1972 White began selling tractors under the
"White" brand name and by 1974-75 exclusively as "White."
AGCO, a billion dollar corporation with headquarters in Duluth, GA purchased White Tractors in 1991, and acquired White-New Idea by 1993.
