IH 444 or 354?

Just purchased an IH listed as a 354 diesel. On the internet, it seems the model number might be for a 444: Model A480003B002750. I guess I could figure out which tractor it is for sure by identifying the engine. I've read that you can find the engine type as BD-154 or BD-144 by looking at a stamp on the upper right of crank case, but with all the grease, I just can't locate it. Any assistance with a photo of this stamp on the engine? Any thoughts on which tractor this might be or a better way to identify?

Thanks!
 
The 354's were newer tractors, they were much like the B414. The steering is different on the 354 and the 444. The 354 has a steering box and linkage along the side of the tractor. the steering on the 444 were hydro, with no linkage between the steering wheel and the front axle, only hydraulic lines and hoses. The 354's were built in England, the 444's were assembled in the USA, many of the parts came from England.
 
Only USA produced 444,s had hydro steering!!

The British 444 is alarger hp 354with mechanical steering or mechanical steering with hydraulic assistance ram.!!

USA 444 and British 444 are totaly different tractors???
 
The serial no is a British tractor!!!

Cannot qualify which model as there is no record of the kind code listings ???

Are there any decals on the bonnet tinwork giving a model no or a HP rating??
 
The 354 tractor had the UK built BD144 engines with 3 and 3/8 bore thick liners. The UK built 444 tractors had engines with 3 and 1/2 bore thin liners. Rebuilt a lot of these engines and we fit the 3 and 1/2 pistons and liners in both tractors. Rebuilt a B275 tractor engine last week, the B275 is the forrunner of the 354. MJ
 
Sorry for the delayed reply. No decals to indicate and thick grease covers engine id. I could uncover the grease but I'm not sure where to look.
