hi jim, Wouldn't it be lovely to finally find that elusive track guru.Would answer a lot of my prayers.But i guess their like the tassie tiger,rumored to be out there with unconfirmed sighting but probably extinct Our shed was 12mts by 18 mts and put a 10 mt by 18 mt extension on the side and guess what ,it still isn't big enough My mate that did the extension now wants to put a 22mt by 10 mt extension on the side If i only had a big enough lump in the materess to pay for it .I did a google search for 244 and all i came up with was a model of one for sale .It seemed to have higher loader tower on it than what i remember the 2244 having. A mate has had 3 or 4 massey 200's For the size of them I was amazed how well they push. ian.

hi guys if any of you are still around and would like to chat with an owner of the elusive 244 tracked loader with a rear actor on it then please do so, Marc.

Hi guys i own one of these rare old beasts, it still runs and i am going to try and give it a new lease of life, looking for spares both new and old so if any one can help please get in contact,
cheers for now,Marc.

Hi Marc,
The 244 had an A 3.152 diesel engine.The 2244 had the AD 3.152. The 1973 MF200 had same engine as a 244...A 3.152.
I wonder if the 244 was made to take a backhoe,hence the slight variation with model number ???
Can you get some more working pics .... plus a layout shot of the operator's seat/controls.?
Good luck with the 244.
Jim

I just realized that the 244 has a Loader linkage similar to the 300.
The 200 & 2244 have a Z-bar.

Jim

the loader linkage on the 244 and 200 were the same in britain.
dad used to own a 244 and 200 years ago he thinks the tracks on the 200 were stronger. the 200 was a later model after the 244

are these pics any use to you an old brochure not in very good condition but it is readable








this pic is from the 70s dad and his mf200


the mf 300 he had after

I have not seen that brochure for years Merfyn ..
thanks for posting it

Martyn

Thanks for posting the 244 Brochure,Merfyn.
Is there a year printed on it anywhere?

I have posted some pictures of 2 Aussie machines...a 200B & my 2244.Note the loader frames made by (i think),ROH Adelaide.
Also a parts book cover...possibly from UK/USA.

SO,are you saying the UK machines all had the same style loader frame as on the 200B parts book.??
