Art, the 444 was made from 70-78. They are a British made tractor, the diesels had a BD-154 engine, the gassers in the US were shipped in as crates, and had a C153 American engine installed.
We've used many of the 444 and that series tractor. We like them a LOT!! (Have 2 of them right now) They were the best made tractor of their size on the market in their day, they'll out-pull, out-work, and out-last any MF 35 or Ford 3000 ever built. (IMHO)
New parts are still availlable through the dealer network, and through after-market sources. We have also parted out somewhere around 40-50 of that series if you ever want used parts.

Art, just thought I'd post a couple of pics of what one of those tractors can do. These are from us working in the woods just the other day. We are trying to clean up a nasty spot down over a steep hill.
Notice the trees in the back ground,, that'll give you an idea how steep the hill is.
We only take a small twitch of wood up over the hill, but still not bad for 38HP.
Likely 1/3 to 1/2 cord of wood hooked up there.

I have a late 60's industrial version of the 444 with the BD154 diesel engine. I have been very happy with this little tractor.
Shown here is my IH2444.
