Hi all:

 

So I wanted to share my most recent acquisition, a 1972 Case 444. This is a beast!

Came with a 48 inch snowcaster and auxiliary hydraulic valve. I will start tearing into this over the weekend :)

 You know I like that beast Micah! I really enjoy my Case garden tractors. The hydraulic drive is a very unique setup on these Case GT's, and it works very well. I look forward to seeing you rework your 444. :thumbs:

Real nice!  I've always wanted one of those. I bet it gives the operator the "big tractor feel".

It sure is the one Randy did. Shawn from Bryant Pond had it. Can you send me a PM with Randy's phone number? I would like to get some more details on everything he did if you don't mind.

I had a real nice 72 Case 444 as well. It was a beast and would push a ton of snow. Sparky is right, it does have a big tractor feel. Just be careful going down hills as it will run away if its not equipped with a holding valve. Mine didn't have a holding valve but I did take it down hills but you need to know this in advance so you can pull back on the hydro lever. Experiment on a small incline first.

i do know that does not have the holder valve, i've been told you got to find a case 1980 or newer to have that feature to incorporate in the older style hydraulic

  The holding valve is the same on the 200, and 400 series Case GT's. Its the hydraulic lines that are different. There are 4 different configurations of the lines. Here is a very detailed thread on the holding valve lines. http://www.case-ingersoll-tractors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=598&p=2259&hilit=holding+valve#p2259

Mind letting me know what you paid for it? (PM is Ok too) I am looking at a couple and just want to make sure that I don't overspend on a tractor!
