TeachersPet1066 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 On way home this evening saw a gooseneck with tractor on Interstate 79 going north towards Erie. Boys started playing their guessing game of what brand when we were pretty far away. They were saying IH. They were correct and got an added bonus when we got to it. ❤️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I like the “Beef 1” stenciled on the side. Looks pretty clean really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Dinan Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Must have been the BIG tractor on the farm, with all of those weights!! Can’t see any signs of a loader being attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Looks straight. Red basket must be bolted on. I have a red plastic coffee can bolted to the fender of our 856. CupHolder DelGrande. Used a hole that was already in the fender for the bolt. I’ve never seen a 544. That’s similar to what, a 656? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Kirsch Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Brand? When I was your kids' age I could name brand AND model long before you could read the emblems. Heck I could do it before I could even read. My Dad used to argue with me, but then we'd get up to the tractor and sure enough, I'd be right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same identical rear ends as 656. 4 cylinder power instead of 6. Built as gas or diesel powered. Available with standard transmission and TA or as a hydro . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twolines Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Shame me for bringing this up here...but as i see it the binder hook should not be in the pocket. The other end of the chain should be in the pocket with the binder between. Maybe someone could take this picture and my comment to the load securement thread for me. Lol At any rate sweet tractor and i too appreciate the "beef 1" stencil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how its considerably weaker. A load of 5 tractors went out of here today just like that headed across the border. the driver had 24 years experience. not the way I do things but he wasn't worried about it That's a sweet 544! very nice patina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
