Be sure to look at Stan's comments above. I'm no plow expert. I only know about 44's because I have two of them in my barn (one to be restored, and one to supply parts) and had to identify them myself. The 44 came in four flavors: 44, 44A, 44H, and 44AH. The 'A' (or lack thereof) indicated whether the rear wheel was on a fixed mounting or mounted on bails which gave it some movement. The 'H' (or lack thereof) indicated whether the lift mechanism was hydraulic or manual. Any of these models could be purchased on all steel, all rubber, or front rubber with rear steel. Mine both happen to be front rubber and rear steel. Your comment about the "spring in the hitch" was what prompted my guess. Deere did modify the hitch as time went by, and not all the hitches are the same (mine are different). Deere still prints the owner's manual and parts manual for this plow as well. They can be purchased by calling 1-800-522-7448. If I can be of any further help, or if you'd like some additional pictures, please contact me via e-mail.
