Greetings from Northern Ontario - long time reader, first time poster.....
I recently purchased a 1976 IH 444 - the British Diesel version, also know as the American 364.
I have been chasing a stalling issue for the first two months (runs for about 45 minutes then stalls). I have cleaned out the crud from the tank, replaced all the crush washers on the banjo fittings (some were missing) and now am for a replacement thermostat as the one in the tractor isn't opening.
I am also looking for gauges for it as none seem to work but I am still trying to troubleshoot them (the cigarette foil in the fuse was not what I was expecting to find.....). If I do need to replace gauges can anyone guide me to a source? I'm not intent on a restoration, rather a working tractor. I have found lots of gauge sets for 414s and such but not for the 444/364. Are gauges gauges? Will generic aftermarket ones work as long as they are 2"?
Thanks in advance,
Scotty
