IH 444 ??

[Mark_in_NH]

I have made referance to this in other post, and will bring it up again here.
Years ago, as a teenager, my father bought a used IH 444 for use on our small farm. I am thinking that it may have been an early 70's model.
For us, " especially me" this tractor was "The Coolest Thing"
Big, diesel engine, a Sims yellow open cab, lights etc.
I would dearly love a picture of, ANY 444's to help refresh my memories of the family tractor.
Can anybody offer any help and or pictures here ?

I have a 1970 IH444 that I have been using with a Bush Hog rotary cutter. It doesn't have power steering so it is difficult to steer in my sanding soil. I am planning to replace it with a modern tractor. I will try to get pictures when I get it unstuck from wet sand.

We too, have a 444. It does'nt have a cab/loader/bh or much else for that matter... just rotary cutter.

If you'd like some shots of it, I'd be MORE than happy to get some pics for you & post here or email..

Let me know, and let me know if you want specific angles.

I don't have a digital camera, so I'd either have to borrow neighbors (probably not a problem) or use my film & wait couple days for development.

I can even get you a closeup of the fuel cap if you desire!

Richard,
My Dads 444 didn't have a loader or anything just the open (no doors, no back) yellow Sims cab. But for me, as a boy, to be able to sit on that tractor, inside that yellow cab, raking hay and pulling trailers, was pure heaven !!!
Thank you for your offer. I would love to see some pictures of your 444. When you have a chance, either post them here for all of us to enjoy or you can send them to my email.

I have a 444 English Tractor. It has the canopy with side windows. It is a diesel. No power steering. If anyone is interested it is for sale. I need something with power steering so i can use a loader.

I am having trouble with the glow plug wiring. I have burnt up 4 new glow plugs because they are not wired correctly. Could you send me a photo of how they are wired? Thanks.

If anybody is in central Texas and interested, my 1970 IH444 is for sale. It is in fair condition, needs a through cleaning and lubrication. Primary problem is leaking injectors, could use a rebuild. Have some of the manuals. I am planning on buying a Kubota L3130 with loader soon so it may go as trade in. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

& other side.

Sure hope it brings back good memories for you. In fact, I'd be REAL happy to see someone sneak off with this tractor. Then again, I'm not sure that "1 brake" is the machines fault ?

Glow plugs are wired in series so you should have battery to switch to dashboard indicator element to plug 1 to plug 2 to plug 3 to plug 4 then to ground/earth
