For anybody that says the British IH tractors are junk, ask for specifics. I say that is pure nonsense. I've been using them for years and they've all been very rugged. More so then Fords or MFs in the same size-range.
444 is a little different then others in the British series because if gas, it uses the C-153 engine instead of the British BC-144 engine. So, any negative comments about British carbs or ignitions do not apply to the 444 gas version. 444 diesel uses the same BD British engine, but not the gasser.
The tractors that DO use the British gas engines, e.g. B-275, B-414, 354, 364, 434, 3414, etc. . . . use British Zenith VN or VNN downdraft carbs and Lucas igntions - but parts are still easy to get. You just have to know what you're looking for. Same carbs and distributors are used on many small British cars.
I think the price you've been guoted is way too high. Good tractor yes, but silly asking price. I've bought many running but beat up for $800 to $1000. In excellent shape they usually bring around $3000 - with live PTO, power steering, live hydraulics, hi-low range trans, and differential lock.

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
