The 544 from what I can tell is alot like a 656 with 2 less cylinders, thous is built pretty solid. I run one at work that is a hydro and at 6,000 hrs. the hydro has never been apart and it was used for every thing the first half of its life, nice peppy 4 cyl. alittle over 50 hp. but it does go through the gas. It now sounds as if there is a rod bearing going but guessing how it was ran (before me of course) and at 6,000 hrs. that doesn't seem unreasonable to me. I wouldn't want one for pulling max loads but for every thing else you can't beat them. I would check out the hydro good on it, put the lever all the way ahead rev it up and with the brakes on let out the inching pettle(clutch) and see if you can kill it, thats just one test I can think of. If the price is to good thier may well be a problem with it. When every thing works like it should they are a very nice driving/running tractor with all the more modern features. I'm sure there are othiers on here that know more about them on here as well.
