Hello, I purchased a 544 farmall last year, actually I traded it for a 574 IH and come to find out the block has many cracks in it. I looked at a few of the junk yards in the area and they only had one that had a hole in it the had been repaired and they wanted 300 for it and another junk yard had one that was in good shape for 1500. My problem is that I have so much i it right now that I cant see my way to buy a 1500 block. Other than the moter the tractor seams to be in good shape. Great sheet metal and all. The only other thing about it that irks me is that it has a swartz wide front on it that looks like it came off of a m farmall. I cant decide if I should sell it as is or part it out or suck it up and buy the 1500 block. Does anyone out there know of a block laying around or have a advice for a direction to go in??? My problem with this tractor in the justification of spending the money on it is that we have a 656 farmall and really need one bigger than it. I would be interested in trades for bigger tractors 856, 756 or along those lines. Thanks for any help.

I really like my 544 gas. I would by the block. If you decide to part your out let me know.

Must have the D-239. If so, it's going to be almost impossible to find a block for less than $1500. Most of those German engines are still running. I think you already know what you've got to do- if you try to sell that tractor with a bad engine, you're going to lose more than $1500 on the deal. Might as well spend it on the block. Throw a $800 wide front from any 60, 06, 26, or 56 series Farmall under it, and you'll have a great tractor. Probably not worth parting out, there aren't many 544 Farmalls out there, so you'll have a hard time getting rid of the parts.

If this is a 544 gas, $1500 is about 3 times of what a good block should sell for.
