I am looking at buying a IH 544 Gas the lady told me her husband is no mech at all and when the tractor would"t start they parked it last year. anyway it has a loader of somekind and a box blade for $2000. they said it would turn over just not start. it is yellow? is that a industrial model or what? Any advice would be great. Thanks
 
The industrials were painted yellow. Not all had the foot throttle though. My 2606 doesn't.

Check the id tag and serial number and compare on the caseih.com site. 5 speed or hydrostat? forward & reverse lever on left? PTO? Any number on the loader frame?

Sounds awful high for one that doesn't run. The guy being no mechanic so they parked it sounds kinda weak to me. More like an excuse not to know about the cracked block, thrown rod or something. Tell her your no mechanic either and it might need a few thousand dollar repair so $500 is your best offer.
 
Actually IH industrials were painted whatever color the buyer wanted if they wanted to pay for the different color.

Most all were yellow though.

If a factory industrial the SN plate will have the 2544 model number instead of 544.
 
THANKS for all the info I think I will pass at that price and offer 1,000$ if it will turn over good and looks ok. I ask the husband if he checked the points and he ask me what those were I will just have to look at it. again thanks I can always count on you guys.
