Fixing up my buddy's tractor on the 4th of July. He bought it as a non-running parts tractor just for the loader but we wanted to see if we could get it running again.

I have a 444, allways wanted a loder for it but bought a IH 606 with 2001 loader. My 444 had bent push rod , bad oil pump, bad distributor and 3pt arms wont stay up, besides all that its a neat little tractor. Allso it leaks oil every where.

I live in central Arkansas and I just bought what I believe to be a 444. It's low and wide. Supposedly came from air force base was used to mow slopes

Suggestion get mag drill and drill and then weld in a new insert so you don't have to cut the frame. As for the field cut the grass down and moldboard plow it. This will turn the weeds under and kill the seeds of the weeds if you get them deep enough.

we will plow the field but we do also still need to grade it. as soon as the dozer is ready to go that's gonna be its first job

I have owned a 2444 for 35 years. I is an industrial 444 with a 2050 loader. IT has float on the loader. IT has 35 years of digging and pushing trees over. IT's brakes are week and it's front beam is not strong enough for the loader. HAD IT REWELDED.. Before I owned it the rear case was cracked and welded. It still drips oil. I see that you have rear remotes.

I'd sure like to have that tractor for parts

They're actually pretty common up here in NY. You can pick them up for around $1000 in non-running or $3000 in running condition.

What size is that loader?

@John_Graff 2 ай бұрын

It's an international 2000 loader. As far as I'm aware this is the only 2-arm, non-trip-bucket, loader IH made for many years. It's definitely the most common model I have seen. They put it on anything from 30hp class to 100hp class farm tractors.

This loader is way too heavy for what is essentially a lightweight general purpose tractor .The front axle will wear out in no time with heavy use . l always found it strange that in America you had so many tractors with gas engines into the 90s and further.Europeans were almost all diesels from the middle 50s.

@John_Graff Жыл бұрын

IH sold it with that loader from the factory. I think a lot of gas tractors were sold here based on consumer demand. Virtually every tractor had a diesel power option but almost no one ever bought them. I think it is probably due to price of fuel. Diesel here is at least 25% more expensive than gasoline. Cold climates also preferred gasoline because they were much easier to start in the winter.
