HALF-TRAC DATABASE: WHITE MOTORS

Post by Kevin Lockwood » Thu Jan 21, 2021 2:26 pm

Hi Group,

Here is a G503 database of White half-trac data for all to see and use. I hope by building this database some patterns will show up that can help answer some of the many questions raised by these models of halftracks. Posting photos will help to get the correct details recorded. This will be a group effort so I hope everyone interested in these vehicles can help to fill in the blanks!
Please post ( or email to me ) any numbers/data you have and I will add them to the list as I have time. Due to limited space I will not be able to acknowledge where the data comes from. Last revised 16MAY2023 by Kevin Lockwood.

Height of Frame serial number stampings:

White--------1/2 inch--screw slots ( vertical )
Autocar-----9/16 inch-screw slots ( any old way )
Diamond T--3/4 inch--screw slots ( vertical sometimes ? )

Hood Number - Key Numbers ( add to Ord. Number to get Hood Number)

In THE mood:
Added White SER# 276600 Most likely built as one of the last M13s. Converted to M16 by White probably before it left White Motors.
More Questions???
Not adding yet. M16-221 Not sure? White built all the M16 Half-Tracs so Ser# should be 2XXXXX. M16-221 is in the Autocar format but would have been a M2. Is the vehicle on a short M2 frame? Need to CONFIRM the frame stamped number and any other details.
Not adding yet. 276860 Seems close but with the Hood# 4037084 it would fit in with the few known close examples better if perhaps the frame Ser# was 278360. Could this be a mis -read frame number.
Added White SER# 262631 NO other reported vehicles with 262XXX frames. I have seen a picture of this stamping and there is no doubt it is 262631. Are there any other details that could be added to this story?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,

I have White M16 in my collection as per last week.

Frame number 294045
Hood number 4061776
Winch bumper
Pedestal headlights
Location the Netherlands

No dataplate available but the numbers add up via your database.

Am I correct that it is a early 1944 built? Or late 1943. I'm referencing in US Halftracks but I'm in doubt how to exactly read the data regarding contractnumbers, hood numbers and dates.

282953 is in the U.K. no data plate, no ORD #, hood number provided by BAIV in Holland. 283569 is in Holland for sale, no Data Plate.
