ih 444

Post #1 by vince » Fri Dec 07, 2018 3:37 am

just bought property and it came with an international harvester model 444 and brushhog, i have never driven, much less owned one. sadly, no manual. i figured out how to raise and lower the deck, but unsure how to engage the pto. does anyone have a pdf manual for this tractor? also, i think it may have a hydraulic leak because the pto wont hold the deck up. any help would be appreciated.

I don't anything about that model of IH but I expect there is a lever on the side of the transmission somewhere and likely you will have a 2 stage clutch on the pedal. Depress the clutch and you might even feel it. Some tractors can have a lock out plat to stop the 2nd stage being used when not required.
When you say the hydraulics will not hold up I assume you mean when the tractor is not running?

Look at this. Looks like the engagement lever will be on the left of seat.

Probably worth joining up with the Redpower guys.
