Nope wouldn't part with it. Took a lot to get it here, had to import it from the US, wasn't cheap and they are hard tractors to find to begin with.

@@macsworkshop9366 Understandable. I’ve been on the hunt for quite awhile myself. They’re cool little machines 👍🏼

It was setup to work as I wanted it to. No changes needed other than a little stronger tractor.

Doesn't need weight on the front and that is low range

@@macsworkshop9366 I thought it was doing fairly well with no weight at all. But 200 lbs. of wheel weight and 50 lbs. on the front help considerably. Especially on the left rear. My Ingersoll does really well with a 12 inch plow and combine weights on the back with turf tires. I think low range is a tad fast for a 12 inch plow on the Case/Ingersoll tractors. But don't know a solution. I think I could hear your bypass squealing intermittently. Mine does the same. It is fun under the right conditions. Rocks will stop anything.

Yeah fairly hard ground it did well I figured. The engines a bit tired in the old 444 so I try to avoid working it too hard these days. I have a 7020 Ingersoll that pulls the 12" plough a lot easier.

I've done nothing with it unfortunately. I painted the hood and rear fender last summer, not sure if I ever posted about that or not. Really need to get my shit together and finish it.

@@macsworkshop9366 Understandable, I am doing that with my John Deere 70. Haven’t worked on it in close to a month. But I also have other projects. I just bought a yanmar engine to put in a garden tractor which should be fun but. Too much to do, and too little time to do it.

Yes it doesn't take too much to start spreading yourself pretty thin. Only so much time and money to do everything.

I don't want a dead furrow

It leaves a "ditch" or "dead furrow" in the middle of the garden.

Yes just a hobby. Mac Farms is my main channel we have a few Masseys on the farm.

Traded it and a bunch of other MF stuff off a couple years ago to a guy that ended up screwing me over on a bunch of cub cadet parts. So it's out there somewhere but I no longer have it.

@Mac's Workshop ok. I'm sorry to hear that happened to you

Was pretty hard going but it's not like the ground hadn't been worked before. The Kolher isn't bad, suits the tractor I guess. Nice v twin efi Honda would be a nice engine in one but worth more than the tractor.

Ooooh! Don't say that. I would gladly put a twin on that if it were mine.@@macsworkshop9366

Just the factory setup. All the springs are new though, I bought the last ones AGCO had and replaced my old ones a few years back. I guess that helps.

@@macsworkshop9366 you should post more videos of her. My springs are stretched out, but can ream out the holes for the brackets and raise it.

Won’t hurt it, not sure who told you you can’t rev an engine unless it’s under significant load, makes zero sense.

Agreed! Gets more oil anyway.@@macsworkshop9366

What tires are on the rear?

1450/1650 used Eaton hydro’s, the 1655/1855 used Sunstrand, the earlier 14/16 used Sunstrand also.

ok makes sense , I got two 1650s. The earlier 1650 from the first year of production got sundstrand. The other 1650 was one of the last made and got Eaton. Do you know much of difference between them, I was told the sundstrand got more pull to it? But owning both I have not seen a big difference. My 1650 with thr Eaton I’m using to blow snow this winter with the 4220 blower. My 1650 with the sundstrand is down right now, rebuilding the motor.

I’ve heard the same but I’ve never really seen any difference in the ones I’ve ran either. Both seem to work equally well

@@macsworkshop9366 thanks for the info, really hard to find details on the old machines with changes like that throughout production . Hope the 1650 project is going well, will be nice to see when completed.

Yeah it’s been kind of on the back burner now for a couple years I’ve been busy with other stuff, really need to get back on it and finish it up.

Thanks for the tip I see you’re doing so well on UA-cam yourself.....

Correct

Thanks Noel, I guess the ground got harder I don't really remember LOL that 12" plow is a real workout for the 444 though. I used it on the 7020 this year, that has no trouble with it.

3 reasons, 1) read the title, "quick and dirty" this was never meant to be an all out fabrication of a new spindle. Just a slight upgrade over OEM. 2) I think I mentioned it in the video, if not, this tractor was never intended to be a loader tractor, so it doesn't NEED super HD spindles. 3) The whole purpose of the project was to create a slight upgrade over stock, and allow me to use the 4 bolt rims and tires that I had and wanted to use, that's it.

​@@macsworkshop9366 you are clearly a skilled guy. Im not criticizing, Im here because I learn from the talented guys like you.

She’s a fine machine Murphy !

Gday murphy!

A family member had it sitting in their yard, I seen it back in 2011 but they weren’t ready to sell, ended up buying it a few years later.

Yeah it’s hard to get it set up right, mine might be wrong too I just set it up to lift as high as possible. I think the owners manual shows where it’s supposed to be.

and I've done that many times.

How about a link to a source for the k181 carb, please.

Can this be done to a HH140 ohv?

I’d take 450,000 US dollars

@@macsworkshop9366 I’ll give you $450,001 😂

@@macsworkshop9366 looking at a Massey Ferguson 12 hydro tractor. Think it’s worth it?

Yep that’s where I got them too.

Yeah Rusty it’s a pain to chase multiple problems at once too. Thanks for watching.

Haha at least the 7020 it’s not hard to pull the carb off, I was able to just loosen the bolts and leave the linkages and everything on it, gave me enough room to remove the solenoid.

I think dad painted the chassis on it, he’s working on the wiring now. She’s still in pieces anyway lol

Yeah that’s about the size of it. Few backfires never hurt anyone lol

They are Goodyear Power Torque tires

Thanks man! I’m still trying to figure out the seals for the rear cylinder, nothing is available for it anymore.

That’s awesome bud. Happy birthday!

No these were a hydraulic drive, little different setup than the hydrostatics.

Thanks, it's a handy little machine.

Thanks Wayne

Thanks Rusty, it’s tough to mount them with the bolts especially with ballasted tires.

Thanks Jan, glad your enjoying it!

Stacking might work I have to see if there is any interference with the fender though. No room on the opposite side of those because the 3pt cylinder is in the way

lol thanks Jason.

I think I’ve found another block for it that will work so probably going to go with that, then use the good components from this engine. I’ll still need a new rod, piston, valves and a few other parts. If a used Honda GX comes up for sale I still might go that route though.

No haven’t updated it. Can’t get Albert to pose for a photo lol Thought about that but the lift cylinder for the 3pt comes through that side so it will interfere there too. I have to get the fender on and see what I can do with them.

Thanks Rusty, have to see what I can come up with for another block first.
