Went on craigslook and went through all the case tractors for sale ad`s. I finally found a Case tractor, a 444, going to pick it up this Sunday. I think the man is the original owner, but I`ll find out for sure.
I asked what`s needs fixing, said it not charging, also something about the governed needs adjusting? I asked if it used any oil, no doesn't smoke runs very good. Hydro and deck lift work fine. I asked about the deck any noises or rust through, no holes, no noise but there is rust it and old tractor.
The price is the same as the Case 222 in Mansfield, CT. So Sunday hope it`s a nice day it`s about a 2.5 hour ride, Going up to check it out, then load it on my trailer. Talk some more to the owner get as much info, as I can, maybe any paper work like a manual. He told me everyone that has called think they are going to get a tractor that is perfect and needs nothing or work, that`s why it is selling for $350.
Hey for the price I`m getting a lot of tractor, that needs some TLC, I`m glad they passed it up. Even the owner wanted to make sure I knew what I was buying. There are other Case 444 that are priced from $850. to $1,200 that need very little to no work. So I`ll be back with lots of question and pictures, when I get her home. Any Idea of the year it has a 14hp Kohler under the hood?
