Grandpa's old I-544

This is my first tractor so I am learining as I go. I do know form the serial numbers it is a 1968 build I-544 gas. It has power steering (what I pain in the butt moving when not running. Had to actually turn the wheel by hand as steering wheel does not work without power). Appears to have front and rear hydrolics with a 10 speed transmission ( 4 forward/1 reverse with hi/low lever).

Any help would be greatly apprecheated. Thank you.

If any one has pictures of the thier consoles I would like to see them to compare. Thank's again Steve for posting the pictures for me.

neither was shuttle both had T/A. I guess it is a wide front. A word of caution, if it is like a 656, in "Low" with the t/a, it will free-wheel down a hill. Just to let you know so you don't find out the hard way.

I believe they have a C200 4 cylinder gas engine. It is sleeveless so an overhaul requires removing the block and boring if it is too worn. The tractor is a very handy size, but the engine is very touchy on carb and point adjustments. If you do get it running and it runs erratically check the manifold, they are prone to vacuum leaks.

Utilities are low slung, low center of gravity tractors, usually used for loaders and backhoes.

I got your pics and can't help you with your gauges other than it looks like there should be a tin over the control rods below the dash.

Here are the pics for everyone else though.

1. Where does the Battery go? I think the left fender but I am missing a bracket to hold it down if that is where it does go.

2. What guages are supposed to be in the console. I have some holes.

3. What is the front grill supposed to look like, I have chicken wire?

4. Is it possible to rebuild the fuel pump or does it need completely replaced like a automoble.

Any help is apprechated.
