chorusguy 227 #1 Posted November 25, 2015 Looking at a case 644 with loader. But I know nothing about these machines. Any info would be appreciated in terms of maintenance, dependability, parts availability. Additionally, I know that a backhoe attachment was available for these machines but am wondering if other brands of backhoe attachments would work. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,497 #2 Posted November 26, 2015 I would suggest you go to the CCI site and do some reading. Colt Case Ingersoll. I am a member there, its like red square, but geared for colt case and ingersoll tractors instead of wheel horse tractors. I have read about that machine but am by far no one to advise you on it. Good luck. Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rollerman 290 #5 Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Very sturdy machines...they were built as a loader tractor, not a loader added to a GT. The 644 would of had a Kohler 14HP, Case's two range hydraulic driven transmission & manual steering. They also made a 646 & 648 with Onan power. The 648 had power steering. They will take more abuse than a GT with a loader added to it. Parts can be had through Case/Ingersoll sources & are more pricey than your average Wheel Horse parts. I would think one the machine was dialed in (serviced, any worn parts replaced) it would be pretty trouble free other than typical high wear/maintenance stuff. I really can't help with the back hoe attachments...they were made for the 644, 646, & 648, but it might be easier to find an off brand & adapt it.

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #6 Posted November 26, 2015 Out of curiosity I went searching. I found an interesting thread on another forum with discussion on this model. One owner had replaced the Kohler with the Yanmar-clone diesel and was very pleased. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DennisThornton 4,769 #8 Posted November 28, 2015 I've wanted an all hydraulic Case/Ingersol for years! None have ever popped up close by someday one will be within range! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
