White GT-2055 Garden Tractor
The White GT-2055 is a garden tractor manufactured by White, a division of MTD, as part of the GT series produced between 1980 and 1995. Designed for residential and light-duty grounds maintenance, this two-wheel drive machine is configured with an open operator station.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 351400 engine, an air-cooled, 568 cc horizontal-shaft V-Twin unit. It generates a gross power output of 20 hp (14.9 kW) at a rated speed of 3600 RPM, with a peak torque of 29.3 lb-ft (39.7 Nm) at 2400 RPM. The engine uses a 12-volt electric starter and features specific maintenance tolerances, including a 0.005-inch valve clearance for both intake and exhaust valves.
Transmission and Drive
Equipped with an Eaton M11 shaft-driven hydrostatic transmission, the GT-2055 provides infinite forward and reverse travel speeds across two ranges. The system utilizes a Peerless 2500 transaxle. The drivetrain is complemented by a manual clutch and an independent front power take-off (PTO), allowing for the operation of various front-mounted implements such as a 50-inch or 60-inch mower deck.
Chassis and Handling
The machine features manual steering and disc brakes for operational control. It rides on 18x6.50 front and 27x9.50 rear lawn and turf tires. With a wheelbase of 53 inches (134 cm) and a ground clearance of 9 inches (22 cm), the unit weighs approximately 916 lbs (415 kg) in shipping configuration, ensuring stability across standard terrain.
Conclusion
The White GT-2055 is a utility-focused garden tractor suited for landowners requiring a maneuverable machine for mowing and basic groundskeeping tasks. Its hydrostatic transmission and independent front PTO offer the operational flexibility necessary for regular yard maintenance.
