At the risk of boring everyone, I thought I'd post an update as to what I've been up to the last couple years. I think most people are aware that i was able to leave my job at the Army Depot (a 65 mile drive each way) and go to work for the Air Force base which was 5 miles north of me. In...

Hi All Been gone a while, but I know where to come whenever I need information on GTs. This post deals with my Case 444--1978 vintage. It has the original Kohler K321 Engine. The pump whines when running, even though I replaced all the fluids, cleaned the oil cooler, etc. when I bought it 4...

So, I fired up my running GTs and decided to exercise them a little before I winterize them, and decided to get a picture of them. So here they are, taking some rays in our "On Again, Off Again" Indian Summer. Smitty

Hi All Haven't been around for quite a while.. did you miss me??? (just kidding) Anyway, I have a 70s vintage Case 444 that I use for plowing my garden and pulling an aerator on a 3 PH. The engine is a little tired, but always starts right up, and only blows blue smoke when it's warm and...

Hello, I'm a new poster here, and a new owner of a 1978 Case 444. I retired three years ago, and needed a project to work on during the summer. I drove about 180 miles to purchase this tractor this past Saturday. It was quite an adventure getting the tractor and mower deck loaded on my 2009...

Hello Folks, Can somebody walk me through the process for removing the engine from a Case 444 graden tractor? I recently worked on the carbueretor , and I got the engine running -- briefly. It ran on high idle for about twenty seconds, and before I could turn the key off, it stopped - I mean...

Hi All I recently bought a 20 hp Ruggerini air-cooled diesel, and I'm looking to put it into a GT. I've put an ad in the local classified hoping to find a nice Bolens Large Frame for it as it's kind of tall and won't fit into most GTs without some sheet metal mods. I've not had any luck...

Hi all, New guy here looking for some advice. I just bought a 1975 Case 444. I have an ARK 500 loader that is currently attached to a Kubota G5200. The loader has its own fluid and is powered by a pump running off the front PTO of the Kubota. I think I want to move the loader over to the...

I think I did a really bad thing and killed my case 444. I was tilling a large garden for a friend on Sunday and was almost done when my Kohler made a loud backfire and lost power. While it was at a low idle I heard an interesting clanking sound from the engine. I was tilling up hill and it was...
