I have a 444, allways wanted a loder for it but bought a IH 606 with 2001 loader. My 444 had bent push rod , bad oil pump, bad distributor and 3pt arms wont stay up, besides all that its a neat little tractor. Allso it leaks oil every where.

Enjoyed seeing it run

What size is that loader?

It's been about 5 months guys. Have you made any further progress? would love to see where your at with the dozer. Cheers Stew.

I like how you just doubled down on the dozer. 😂

Buy the d4d caterppilar 60j engine and put it in this place because it is much better than this one do not bother renewing it

great cover

You guys need a solid block of hardwood about the same diameter as the piston. Place it end on on the piston and hit the top of the wood with a sledgehammer. Works every time!

Use ATF MIXED with acitone

The drive sprockets are pressed on. It will take maybe a 30 ton special hydraulic press to remove and install them. There is a bellows type seal behind the sprocket as well. You will have to do process 4 times to transfer the sprockets . Lots of hard work. I would just cut the sprockets off your donor machine, like they were cut from the machine you are rebuilding. It is a common way of replacing the track sprockets. Find a common location to measure on the donor machine before you cut the sprockets off that you can use to set the side position on the new machine. Tack the sprockets in several locations checking run out. Then weld with 7018 Low Hydrogen welding rods. Alternate your welds as you would tighten a car rim. They don't have to be perfect just close. The more time you take in setting them the easier it will be on yourself. Did this on our D4D a few years back when we installed new sprocket rims with new rails. Warm your track link and freeze your track pin and be quick about it when you drive your track pin back in to connect rails.

Music video👎

Awesome content. I think you could go from good to great with the help of a video editor. You and those are truly skilled and are appreciated for the things you do.

The music junked another video 👎👎👎💩💩💩😬

Tractor wheelies scare the hell out of me.

Trust me if you want more views then get rid of the Horrible music. Shop noises and silence during fast motion are way more popular than that stupid annoying noise.

Nice shop

While you have the track frames off. Flip them over and bust the roller bolts loose. Check them and reintall with thick thick grease. Schaffer 237 or 238 i forget the number. That will save you days of work in the future if you ever need to chang the rollers. You are going to need to get creative when pulling the sprockets. Since the sprocket is cut off. You may need 6 semicircular plates to pinch the spokes inside and out to use the 3 leg puller so you dont bend the spokes causing them to snap. Or have two semicrcular plates cut. And use square plates to pinch against the puller side of the spoke. Did you see western tractor on youtube weld new sprockets on several D4D fumigation versions.

How in the hell did you guys find pretty much exactly what you needed in such a short amount of time...another D4D with no tracks on it? I can hardly find any older dozers for sale around me, let alone something so specific.

There it is, the Exxon Valdes.

First thing clean it.

TO Not disassemble the engine is a BIG MISTAKE .😧 All oil galleys must be super clean . How the ell are you going o replace BERINGS without removing the crank ? A rebuild is not a REBUILD without new parts. Are you a idiot ? Fluid clutch oil release on shop floor was the funny part of this 😂..Could not find the drain ?

Good job enjoy the video you did Good job on that loader Look at John the next one Stay safe

Good job Junking them old cars Enjoy the video watching again stay safe

Do you not just love it when things do not go to plan.

Keep the content coming guys its good stuff.

fill a yard sprayer with diesel fuel and spray the internals while scrubbing them with a plastic brush. That should clean it pretty good. then flush it with diesel before filling with oil for the first time.

Great video, appreciate that

Suggestion get mag drill and drill and then weld in a new insert so you don't have to cut the frame. As for the field cut the grass down and moldboard plow it. This will turn the weeds under and kill the seeds of the weeds if you get them deep enough.

Pour 50/50 mix acetone and automatic transmission oil into cylinders and let sit for several days to see if will brake engine free

Well you had the tracks under it.all you had to do was pull the tracks over the sprocket and top roller pull it over the idler and put a bolt or piece of pipe in track joints to keep them together and push the tractor off trailer this would have worked even though one sprocket was just spockes

👎👎😒😒 yak, yak, yak . . . . a sure sign that you have no clue what you're doing.

Two weeks ago ? SNOW IN JULY ??? Canada ? great video. thanks

This loader is way too heavy for what is essentially a lightweight general purpose tractor .The front axle will wear out in no time with heavy use . l always found it strange that in America you had so many tractors with gas engines into the 90s and further.Europeans were almost all diesels from the middle 50s.

I have owned a 2444 for 35 years. I is an industrial 444 with a 2050 loader. IT has float on the loader. IT has 35 years of digging and pushing trees over. IT's brakes are week and it's front beam is not strong enough for the loader. HAD IT REWELDED.. Before I owned it the rear case was cracked and welded. It still drips oil. I see that you have rear remotes.

Your beer can tells me your in the wny area or pa am I right

I'm watching you guys from Newtownards Northern Ireland.. gotta love youtube..

I'd sure like to have that tractor for parts

I live in central Arkansas and I just bought what I believe to be a 444. It's low and wide. Supposedly came from air force base was used to mow slopes

Where are you guys located ? we farm in orange county New York in the town of Westtown.

what area of NY are you located?

It is surprising how well beer can save the day if the clearance is too loose. Dont recommend it and you have to make sure everything is not way out of round and journal is clear.

'70 Eldorado?

Start soaking the tracks in old motor oil, and work them loose. I would change the springs now if any are broken (way easier than when it is together. Just take the spring and associated bolt and nut to Cat dealer to put them together for like 90 bucks. Springs are way too dangerous to try to do without proper equipment.
