Mike,
Best first advice: Cancel the paint job. You need
to drive the Triple-4 a while, to see what
adjustments/possible leaks, may occur. Rushing
to the paint, makes it painful to put a socket
wrench on a nut, and tear up perfect paint.
Hydraulic leaks always seem to "appear" after
new paint, on tractors of all color. You have,
arguably, one of the best tractors ever built.
The standards a joke, in the pull, compared to
Row crop models. The Diesel & LPG versions in
Row crop, proved more efficient than Gas at the
Nebraska Tests, in 1956. Recorded, accurate HP
is a grey area, as tests on flat belt performance
were often done on models prior to the 1960's.
'Rule of Thumb' was that PTO HP runs higher, but
without proper tuning you lose that legendary
M-H added power. Access to a dyno may shead more
light on the HP of your 444G.Guestimate:52/54.
Good luck.
