    PTO a '70 international 444

    The PTO lever has a pin that's spring loaded and holds in a hole when it's off. To engage you overcome the spring, move it about 2 inches and it drops into another hole where it should be engaged. The lever is easy to operate and has full travel, but PTO is not engaged. Thanks, Joe.

    PTO a '70 international 444

    Have an old '70 IH 444 that I picked up cheap a while back. Got it running, but hadn't tried to use the PTO with the mower until this weekend. I had put the PTO in gear and it appeared to work without the mower. Tried to use the mower this weekend and the PTO didn't engage. Messed with the gears...

    Got it running, but hadn't tried to use the PTO with the mower until this weekend. I had put the PTO in gear and it appeared to work without the mower. Tried to use the mower this weekend and the PTO didn't engage. Messed with the gears and low/hi case and it suddenly worked when I popped it...

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    Sounds like a good deal. Wish mine had a front loader. My amp/volt and temp gauge didn't work. I just replaced my temp gauge. The wiring is a nightmare on this tractor. I'm just going to tear everything out and rewire completely. I'm going to the one wire alternator and do away with the...

    Got my radiator mounted. Ran it about 20-30 minutes and didn't get hot. Smokes some white smoke when I up the throttle. Need to check out. Lift, pto, transmission is working. Getting there.

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    They wanted $5-600. For a tractor radiator. Found this leftover aluminum 3 core radiator upstairs. About the same size and orientation. Looks like it will work. Will have to build brackets to hold it and see how I can attach the shroud. And hope the J.B weld holds. I didn't use it on a project...

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    Picture is from the top looking into the transmission with the shifter cover off. You may or may not see the most forward gear slot (on motor side) as it could be covered by oil level.....it's 65° here!

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    I've removed covers from old ford transmissions before, so I had an idea on what happens inside and you do start with both shifters in neutral. If you study the pictures of the gears, the red dot indicate where the forks have to align too. At first, I hadn't raised the section under the seat...

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    Well it didn't work. Had only reverse and wouldn't going other gears. Tore down again and after 3 assembles and disassembles, finally got my gears and all forks lined up. Now to find a radiator or maybe re-core mine. Anyone got one to fit?

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    Finally had time to get back to the shifter problem. Tried to pull the flange with the hydraulic adjustment valve but found that there are conflicting bolts and it wasn't coming off. After further research, I found that the whole piece below the seat and what holds the lift arms needs to come...

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    Actually I have enjoyed them. Spent 2 winters around Cambridge Minnesota, little town Bethel at a Nike missile site. While there I was in charge of the R&R equipment that included 5 snowmobiles. Always had one available for the Captain and me. That cured me of living up north. The '31 red chevy...

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    Been cold, (by South Texas standards) sorry about you guys up north, so I haven't done anything to the tractor. Have been looking for a radiator as my core is toast. Tanks are good, may re-core unless I find something useable. Will be pulling the transmission shift tower off later. My hot rod...

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    Moving right along. Got rid of the square tires and put some new round ones on. Been tied up on a Model T and a little shop lean to I'm building at the shop. I had found the motor was frozen from sitting and pulled the starter and injectors, filled up the cylinders with hydraulic fluid and...

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    LOL...the roof and shed were missing. After sitting in the shed, the old house and shed were torn down and the tractor parked in the yard for the next 5-10 yrs. I'll see if it fires up later today. Stranger things have happened with my old scouts and model a's that have been sitting. Thanks. Joe.

    Tractor 1970 international 444

    Looking at a '70 international 444 that has been parked in a shed a long time, maybe 20 yrs. Diesel, has power steering and I tried turning steering wheel and it just turns, no reaction at the wheels. Does it need to be running for the steering to work? Also It's in neutral but shifter is stuck...

    Need some PTO info on a YM2200

    Bought this YM2200 a while back. Deal was too good to pass up. $1000. for the tractor with the shredder. Hadn't run in years. No problem getting it started but I haven't really used it. Just had the starter rebuilt locally and it started right up again. I don't know all the controls on it yet...

    MF 35 lift problem

    Have a problem with my MF35. I had a bad PTO clutch.. Had to engage it with the engine off (diesel) but the lift was working. Had one last little mowing job (1/3 acre) to do before replacing the clutch and the lift stopped working. Replaced the dual clutch and the PTO works fine but the lift...
